History & Origin

Breeze comes from the English word — via Spanish brisa, the soft wind. A laid-back nature word-name in the Sky-River set, used for both sexes; this page covers boys.

It registers thinly in records. Rare, light-wind at the root, and unhurried.

Did you know? English borrowed 'breeze' from Spanish sailors' brisa — the northeast trade wind — so the name has crossed oceans by definition.
