SKYLARK'S HEINRICH BRAUN BROWN FAMILY
HOMELAND PAGE
Origin of the Braun/Brown surname:
Those with the Brown/Braun surname have come from many places around this world. The surname of Brown probably began as a nickname, referring to the colour of hair, complexion or clothing, either in Old English or in one of a number of other languages (Hebrew, various Germanic and Romance languages are all possibilities).
Broun, Broune and Browne are all known variants, the latter being common.
Some of the pilgrims with the Brown surname came to America from England.
I've also been told by some that their Brown surname name was derived from the German "Braun," which is the German term for "Brown," and the surname was changed at Ellis Island, upon entering the country. Other Brown members came from England. During the 30 Years War, many Germans fled the Palatines in ships. England had refugee camps, and ships also docked to take on supplies in England.
