The Story of Braulio

Braulio derives from the Germanic name Bravlio or Brautigam, related to the Gothic word meaning gleaming or shining. The name was brought to the Iberian Peninsula during the Visigothic period and became established in Spanish Christian culture, notably through Saint Braulio of Zaragoza, a 7th-century bishop who was a close friend of Saint Isidore of Seville.
