Meaning & History

Either a nickname derived from Calabrian braccu meaning "small, chubby", or probably for someone thought to resemble a hunting dog, from Italian bracco literally meaning "hunting dog, bloodhound". As a habitational name it is derived from the village of Bracco in Liguria, north-western Italy. A famous bearer is American actress Lorraine Bracco (1954-).
