Brucie is in Origin.

Brucie is the affectionate diminutive of Bruce, a Scottish given name derived from the Norman-French surname de Brus/Bruce, itself locating someone from Brix (La Manche) in Normandy. The surname entered Britain after the Norman Conquest and became firmly rooted in Scotland through the powerful Bruce family, culminating in Robert I of Scotland - Robert the Bruce - whose fame propelled Bruce into steady given-name use across the Anglophone world.

Used in Scotland and England as a pet name since at least the 19th century, Brucie has also appeared as an independent first name, especially in the mid-20th century. The core meaning is locative - “of/from Brix” - with the underlying place-name’s etymology uncertain; popular glosses sometimes interpret it as “brushwood thicket” or “heath.” Variants and related forms include Bruce (standard), Brucy (rare), and the surname forms Brus/de Brus. Brucie functions as a friendly, occasionally unisex, nickname.
