Bronte, of French origin, is a rare and distinctive given name for females. Pronounced bron-TAY, it is derived from the Occitan word "bront," meaning "thunder." This name gained popularity in the English-speaking world largely due to the Bronte sisters - Charlotte, Emily, and Anne - who were renowned 19th-century British novelists. Their most famous works include "Jane Eyre" by Charlotte and "Wuthering Heights" by Emily, contributing significantly to the Victorian literary scene. The name Bronte is often associated with creativity, intellect, and strength, reflecting the legacy of its notable bearers. It has been used sparingly in English-speaking countries but offers a unique and meaningful choice for parents seeking an uncommon yet significant name for their daughter.
"Bronte has seen a total of 18 babies named Ann since 1993, with peaks in 1994 and 2000."
