BRUNDO | BRUNDU

Brundo, very rare, is specific to Cagliari, Brundu, much more widespread, it is typically Sardinian equally distributed throughout the island, both derive from the Sardinian word brundu (blond) or from an Italianisation. additions provided by Giuseppe Concas BRUNDU: blond; from the Spanish blondo. Generally it indicates the color of the hair. I am reminded of a proverb (see Dicius by Giuseppe Concas): su civràxu fai beni su piu brùndu e s'ogu bràxu: black bread makes blond hair and blue eyes become. We did not find it in the ancient documents of the Sardinian language. It is currently present in 152 Italian Municipalities, of which 66 are from Sardinia: Erula 91 (in a village of 807 inhabitants, in the province of Sassari, as many as 91 carry the surname Brundu!), Sassari 86, Orani 69, Cagliari 56, etc.
