Polish First Name

Legg inn av Patscga » 01 okt 2004 14:41:50

There is a question as to an ancestor's first name. One person says Brona and
another remembers it as Bronnetta.
Thanks for any help.

-etta diminuitive so a pet name for Brona
Brona, Female, Irish, Sorrow

probably used both like Violet and Violetta

Bronnetta as a search term on the Net only gets 3 hits. But, Brona+Polish
gets quite a few hits. Some are first parts of a two part town or location
name, but there are some first names listed. Looks like it could be either
Bronnetta or Brona, but more likely, Brona.

Brona happens to also be an Irish female first name. See

Brona ==> Bernice
Bronetta ==> probably like Bernie
