What is the meaning of the name Bregus ?

Bregus is in Origin.

A rare Welsh given name drawn from the everyday adjective bregus, meaning “delicate, fragile, tender,” and by extension “sensitive” or “precious.” The term belongs to the Brittonic branch of Celtic; compare Cornish bregys and Breton bresk, all reflecting an older root connected with breaking or brittleness. Its succinct, two-syllable form and gentle sense place it among contemporary Welsh vocabulary-names chosen for evocative meanings.

As a first name, Bregus is a recent adoption, seen sporadically in late‑20th and early‑21st‑century Welsh registers and media (it also titled an S4C drama), and it remains uncommon. Usage is unisex but tends to skew feminine. The spelling is standard in both Welsh and English, with no established traditional variants; occasional affectionate Welsh diminutives with -i (Bregi) appear, while the English nickname Gus may be used informally despite a different origin.
