Etymology

A Central and Low German form with -ss- for -chs-, from northern Middle High German and Middle Low German brassem, from Old High German brahsma, from Proto-West Germanic *brahsima, from Proto-Germanic *brahsmǭ, perhaps from *brehwanaz (“shining, glittery, sparkly”), from Proto-Indo-European *bʰerek- (“to shine”), see also English braid (verb).

The form has widely replaced the more southern Brachse(n) in standard usage. Cognate with Dutch brasem.
