From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Browne is a variant of the English surname Brown, meaning "brown-haired" or "brown-skinned". It may sometimes be derived from French le Brun with similar meaning.[1] The Mac an Bhreitheamhnaigh clan of County Donegal have anglicized as Browne since about 1800.[2] The name has also been used throughout North America as an anglicization of the Spanish surname Pardo.[3]

An Irish originated branch of this English family passed to Portugal in the 17th century. Andrew (then André Browne) was father of Dr Pedro Browne, married to Francisca Xavier Clamouse, and of Domingos Clamouse Browne, professed Knight of the Order of Christ and Consul of France in the city of Porto, married to Maria Custódia do Nascimento, daughter of Domingos Fernandes Sada and his wife Maria da Cruz, of whom he had Manuel Clamouse Browne, who had Chart of Arms with the arms of the Brownes on 13 February 1850. They used the following arms: argent, flanked sable, three merlettes sable aligned pale, and one leopard silver over each flank; crest: unknown.[4]
