Etymology
An old river name belonging to the Nordic group of names in -und. Traditionally analysed as deriving from Old Norse non brim surf, breakers with the ancient derivational ending -und, referring to the sound or appearance of rushing water and thus approximately meaning “the one with much splashing and roaring”. Oluf Rygh tentatively reconstructed an earlier form *Brimund.
The name-forming element -und is considerably older than historical Old Norse. In her study of Nordic -und names, Eva Nyman distinguishes denominative and deverbative formations; the denominative suffix probably ultimately continues Proto-Indo-European ine-pro *-nt-, while many deverbative formations continue ine-pro *-ont- or ine-pro *-nt-. For nb Brumunda, Nyman instead proposes a deverbative formation related to a verb corresponding to modern nb brumme to rumble, roar, interpreting the name as approximately “the rumbling one”.
