Breve
Origin:Italian
Meaning:Short, brief; Double whole musical note; Letter, note
Breve is a gender-neutral name of Italian, English, and Latin origin. While it may remind you of the American coffee drink, it’s brewing with a lot more age and charm to it. Coming from the Latin word brevis, it means “short” or “brief.” While it can be a perfect choice for your little bundle of joy, it’s also great for the music-lovers, since a breve refers to a double whole note. Breve may also have links to the Old Norse bréf, meaning “letter” or “note.” If you want to instill a love for words in your little one, Breve is an inspiring choice.
