    The name is said in two beats, roughly BRON-tay; the two dots over the e (a diaeresis) are there so you do not swallow the last sound and say bront.

    The name這個名字 is said in two beats是分兩拍念的 roughly大概是 BRON-tayBRON-tay the two dots over the eE上面那兩個點 (a diaeresis)(分音符號) are there所以會標出來 so that you do not swallow the last sound好讓你不會把最後那個音吞掉 and say bront而念成bront

    Their father, Patrick, used Brontë as a rendering of Brunty or Prunty, from the Irish Ó Proinntigh, of a person named Proinnteach, Generous. He first registered at Cambridge in 1802 as Branty or Brunty, and formally changed the spelling later. Why he changed it is not one clean story: some say he wished to hide humble origins; as a man of letters he knew classical Greek, and other guesses exist.

    Their father, Patrick他們的父親派翠克 used Brontë把Brontë當作 as a rendering of Brunty or Prunty是Brunty或Prunty的一種寫法 from the Irish Ó Proinntigh源自愛爾蘭文的Ó Proinntigh descendant of a person named Proinnteach, Generous意思是「Proinnteach(慷慨)這個人的後代」。He他 first registered at Cambridge in 1802最早在1802年到劍橋登記的時候 as Branty or Brunty用的是Branty或Brunty and而 formally changed the spelling later後來才正式改了拼法。Why he changed it他為什麼要改 is not one clean story並沒有一個明確的說法 some say有人說 he wished to hide humble origins他想隱藏出身低微的背景 as a man of letters身為一個文人 he knew classical Greek他懂古典希臘文 and而 other guesses exist還有其他的猜測

    What students need is the name as it stands, the two-syllable sound, and the three books. It is a name, not a common noun.

Brontëname/ˈbɹɒn.ti/

  • 1

    An extinct surname from Irish, borne by a 19th-century literary family.

    • An 85-year injustice has been rectified at Poets' Corner in Westminster Abbey with the corrected spelling of one of the greatest of all literary names. Reader, it is finally Brontë, not Bronte. An amended memorial to Charlotte, Emily and Anne Brontë was unveiled on Thursday with added diaereses (two dots) that ensure people pronounce it with two syllables. As if it rhymed with Monty, not font. The memorial was installed in 1939 and, for whatever reason, came without the diaereses that the Brontës used.
  • 2

    A male given name transferred from the surname.
