What is the meaning of the name Brunna ?

The baby name Brunna is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced BRU-nah; IPA: /ˈbruːnə/ (English), /ˈbɾunɐ/ (Portuguese).

Brunna is Italian, Portuguese, Spanish in Origin.

Brunna is a modern Brazilian spelling of Bruna, the feminine counterpart to Bruno. Through Bruno it descends from the Germanic element brun- meaning “brown, dark,” once used for brown-haired or brown-complexioned people; medieval Latin Brunus carried the form into Romance languages, where Bruna became established in Italian and Portuguese.

Usage of Bruna is documented in Italy since the Middle Ages, while in Portuguese it rose in the 20th century; the double-n Brunna emerged in Brazil from late-century fashion for embellished spellings and is now familiar there, though rarer elsewhere. Variants include Bruna (standard), Brune (French), Brunella and Brunetta (Italian diminutives), and the masculine Bruno; short forms in Portuguese/Spanish include Bru. The name evokes earthy warmth and reliability associated with its color root, yet keeps a sleek, contemporary look in this stylized spelling.
