The English language name 'Bruce' arrived in Scotland with the Normans, from the place name Brix of the Manche ''département'' in Normandy, France, meaning "the willowlands". Initially promulgated via the descendants of King Robert the Bruce of Scotland (1274-1329), it has been a Scottish surname since medieval times; it is now a common given name.
The variant ''Lebrix'' and ''Le Brix'' are French variations of the surname.
