After the words had fallen together, their senses also became confused.North German : habitational name from any of several places so named, notably the town on the Weser, or a topographic name from Middle Low German brÄk ‘clearing’, ‘coppice’.Wilhelm Joseph Dietrich, Baron von Brake, of Hannover (Germany), is said to have settled in Nansemond, VA, about 1730. His son Johann Jacob (John) Brake was the progenitor of the VA and WV Brakes; another son, also named Jacob Brake, settled in Edgecombe Co., NC, in 1742, where he sired seven sons and two daughters.
