Bronia

I met a woman the other day through work called Bronia.

I thought it was so pretty and unusual!

I was looking it up and some websites say it's a Polish name, and some other websites say it's a Welsh name.

Is it a Welsh name does anyone know? I just like to know where a name comes from and what it means.

And what do you think of it?

It’s like Brynja, which I believe is Icelandic?

I’ve never come across it. I know the Irish name “Bronagh” (pron Brona) which is lovely but Bronia would sound too much like Bronagh but a bit “wrong” to me.

I would say Polish. It's the name of one of the characters in The Silver Sword.

I think it's pretty, but people may be a bit puzzled if they find out she doesn't have any Polish heritage.

I prefer Bronagh.

I like it too. I think it's Eastern European. Bronwen is Welsh, but I've never met a Welsh person called Bronia.
