Proper noun

Brach

  1. A surname.
  2. A commune in Gironde department, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France.

Luxembourgish

Etymology

Originally referring to a kind of bread soup made with soured milk. Hence from a variant of Middle High German brocke (broken-off piece, especially of bread) or the verb brocken (to break into pieces); compare German Brocken, brocken, Dutch brok. If the -ch- is old, it may be due to hypercorrection (during the interaction of Frankish and High German influences), otherwise it may be a later adaptation to the related Luxembourgish briechen (to break), Broch (fracture). The feminine gender probably from Mëllech (milk) and/or Zopp (soup), perhaps from an underlying compound *Brachmëllech, *Brachzopp, the former of which is attested in adjacent dialects in Germany.
