Where the Name Comes From
The name "Bruzaholm" has an interesting history. It comes from "Brusan," which was the name of a river nearby. The second part, "-holm," is a common ending in Swedish place names. It often means a small island or a piece of land surrounded by water.
Over the years, the spelling of Bruzaholm changed a few times. In the 18th century and early 1900s, people spelled it differently. Some old spellings include "Brysaholm" and "Brusaholm."
