Bramwell (name)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bramwell is a surname derived from an unidentified hamlet in England, the name of which comes from the Old English for 'broom' or 'bramble well'.[1][2] The location of the place it referred to is difficult to trace, as the surname is distributed fairly evenly throughout England.[1] In modern times, 'Bramwell' has also been used as a masculine given name, with the short form 'Bram'. A variant form of this name is 'Branwell' and another possible meaning is "raven's well".[3]
