The surname Bramind may also reflect the occupation of a chamberlain or "servant of the bower." However, Bramind may also be a patronymic surname which means "the son of Bruman" 1 from the Old English "Brunmann." 2

Often faced with persecution and starvation in England, the possibilities of the New World attracted many English people. Although the ocean trips took many lives, those who did get to North America were instrumental in building the necessary groundwork for what would become for new powerful nations. Among the first immigrants of the name Bramind, or a variant listed above to cross the Atlantic and come to North America were : William Brooman who sailed to Barbados in 1694.
