The Bruhns Family Name

Many Bruhns families will find their roots under Bruns, the form most records use.

Spellings drifted because names were written down by ear in parish books, tax rolls and passenger lists. The extra “h” in Bruhns is a spelling habit rather than a different name.

A coat of arms belongs to a particular family line rather than to everyone named Bruhns, so the heraldry linked to Bruns is a starting point, not an automatic right. Want more than a summary? See the Bruhns family name pack.
