The name Brontë needs no introduction, standing next to Shakespeare, Orwell, and Hemingway as one of the most recognizable in the literary world. Its origins lie in Gaelic and Greek, a gender-neutral first name with meanings of "bestower" and "thunder." The three Brontë sisters, Charlotte, Emily, and Anne, gained worldwide recognition in the mid-nineteenth century through their published poems and books. Among them, Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights are two novels that are still prevalent in modern times and are widely regarded as masterpieces of literature. Bestowing on your little one this iconic name will allow you to share your love for literature with your new best friend.
