Etymology
Together with its Old Prussian cognate brunyos, an early borrowing either from Gothic 𐌱𐍂𐌿𐌽𐌾𐍉 (brunjō, “breastplate”) or from Old High German brunja (“breastplate”) (compare German Brünne (“coat of mail, mail shirt”)), either directly, or via a Slavic language (compare Old Church Slavonic брънѩ (brŭnję), Russian броня́ (bronjá, “armor, breastplate”)).

𐌱𐍂𐌿𐌽𐌾𐍉', German Nouns '
Brünne'.
