Etymology of BRIGNAC

The surname "Brignac" has several possible origins.

1) French origin: "Brignac" is a surname that derives from the Occitan language spoken in the south of France. It is derived from the word "brinh", meaning "hill", and the suffix "-ac", indicating a place. Hence, "Brignac" might have originally meant "place on the hill" or "hilltop".
