The story of Breindy
Ashkenazi women's names came largely from German and Romance vocabulary rather than from Hebrew, which is one of the clearest differences between the men's and women's naming stocks — Breindel brown, Golda gold, Bluma flower, Freida joy, Sheine beautiful. Breindy is the affectionate form and is registered as a full name in Hasidic communities. It appears in American records from Brooklyn and Rockland County.
Meaning
brown, brown-haired
From Middle High German brun, brown, giving the Yiddish Breindel and its affectionate form Breindy; the name described hair or complexion. The same instinct gives Golda, gold, and Bluma, a flower.
