Bruce is a Norman place-name made famous by the Scottish king Robert the Bruce, who won Scotland's independence from England in the fourteenth century; it's perennially popular in Scotland, but has been rarely used here for a generation--though the impact of Bruces Lee, Springsteen and Willis still lingers. At one time Bruce was so widespread in Australia, it became a nickname for any Ozzie man.
