Bruckner hatte erstaunlich viele Namensvettern in den Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika [siehe die Anmerkung]. Diesen galt wohl der folgende Artikel im Lexington Herald-Leader (Lexington, Kentucky) auf S. 4
"HISTORY OF YOUR NAME
BRUCKER
Variations – Brucher, Bruchs, Bruckner.
Racial Origin–German.
Source–A locality.
These are all variations of the same family name which, in its first usage, was one of those descriptive surnames indicating the place where the person referred to lived.
There are, however, really three different explanations of its development, any one of which may be the explanation in a given instance.
In the forms Brucker and Bruckner there is little doubt that the name was simply the German way of referring to a person who lived either near a "bruck" or "bridge," or a "bruch," which might have meant in the given instance either a marsh or a cleft, the same spelling being used for each word.
With Bruchs, however, the indication is that the name comes from the word mesning "marsh" or "cleft," and from the ending, too, it is to be judged that the name originated in the north of Germany."
