A Norman territorial name, most likely from Brix in the Cotentin, carried to England after 1066 and into Scotland with the twelfth-century settlement of Norman families under David I.
Like many ‘Scottish’ names of the period it arrived from France by way of England, which is the usual route.

An honorific Lord or Lady certificate in the Bruce name, hand-finished and sealed, with a square metre of Scottish woodland dedicated alongside it. A novelty, magnificently done — and a good deal more fun than a family tree.
