Etymology

The term 'brunet' originates from the French word 'brun', which means 'brown' and is a diminutive form, thus referring to someone with brown hair. The term started being used in the English language in the early 19th century, likely due to the influence of French culture and language on English at the time. Originally, 'brunet' was used specifically to describe males, while 'brunette' became its corresponding term for females. This distinction is rooted in the gendered use of nouns in French, which has carried over into English. Over the years, the usage of 'brunet' has persisted especially in literature and fashion, where it is used to describe individuals with dark hair, often in contrast to those who are blonde or red-haired. The connotation of the word suggests not just the color of hair but also qualities such as elegance and sophistication, linking it to cultural perceptions about hair color and beauty.
