BRAJ | BRAY

Very rare they are typical of the Salento of Martignano and Lecce in particular, Braj seems due to errors of transcription of the surname Bray that could derive from the Gallic region Bray: "... Nominis reliquiae supersunt planissime, Bibracte Galliae etiam nunc in Bray contrahitur, et not procul hinc Caesar Tamisim cum suis transmisit ... ", but more likely descends from the Norman name Bray derived precisely from Bray in Normandy.
