Brosyne is in Origin.
Brosyne is a rare, likely modern English coinage influenced by the Greek feminine name Euphrosyne (Εὐφροσύνη), the mythic Grace embodying mirth and good cheer. In Greek, euphrosynē means “gladness, delight” (from eu- “good” + phren/phrōn “mind, spirit”), making Brosyne read as a contemporary nod to joy; its -syne ending also echoes Scots syne (“since/then”), known from Auld Lang Syne.
Direct historical usage of Brosyne is minimal and appears chiefly in recent creative naming. The underlying Greek name, however, is long‑established in hagiography and European tradition. Related forms include Euphrosyne, Euphrosine, Eufrosina (Spanish/Italian), Eufrozyna (Polish), Frosina (Balkan), and Yefrosinia/Afrosinya (Russian). Plausible modern variants and spellings are Brosine, Brosyn, and Brosynn.
Brosyne does not appear in any of the birth registries or name datasets we track. This usually means it's either extremely rare, a regional/traditional name not captured by official statistics, or a brand-new coinage. Use it knowing your child will almost certainly be the only one in the room.
