Discussion of the name

Brunlocc is a late Old English masculine name comprising the elements brūn ‘brown’ and locc ‘hair, curl’. It probably originated as a byname and is not recorded from pre-Conquest England, although it is evidenced both in DB and from early twelfth-century London (von Feilitzen 1937: 210; Ekwall 1947: 23)
