Patrick Brontë was born in Northern Ireland, where his name appears to
have been written as 'Brunty' or 'Prunty' - there is no regularised
spelling, since so many people in that area at that time could neither
read nor write.
At the point when Mr Brontë enrolled as an undergraduate at Cambridge he began to spell his name 'Brontë', with two dots over the 'e' to mark the fact that it was pronounced as a separate syllable.
