Breuse is in Origin.

Breuse is a rare given name rooted in medieval French and Anglo‑Norman usage. It represents the romance-era form of the Norman surname de Brus, source of modern Bruce, originally denoting a person from Bruis/Brix in Normandy. The place-name is often connected with Gaulish briga “hill, high place,” giving the sense “from the heights” or “of Brix.” As a forename, Breuse reads as a literary revival rather than a traditional baptismal choice.

Its most famous bearer is the Arthurian figure Sir Breuse Sans Pité (“without pity”), named in Old French cycles and Malory’s Le Morte Darthur, which fixed this spelling. Contemporary use is extremely uncommon, typically as an unconventional twist on Bruce or in homage to medieval legend. Related forms and variants include Bruce, Brus, Breus, and Bruse; feminine adaptations are rare.
