• Bravos, bravos

Borrowed from Old Church Slavonic *Брашовъ (*Brašovŭ), from Брашо (Brašo) +‎ -овъ (-ovŭ), diminutive from Братиславъ (Bratislavŭ). Compare the Hungarian name for the city, Hungarian Brassó, from the same source.

An alternative has been proposed from a Turkic barasu, meaning "white water" with a Slavic suffix -ov.

The city was known as Kronstadt ("Crown City") in the local Transylvanian Saxon (German) language, and Corona (“crown”) in Medieval Latin.
