  • Brooks (surname)

    Brooks is a surname of Germanic/French origin, that is thought to have been derived from the condition of either residing near a stream (or brook). The first known reference to the name "Brooks" comes from one of the barons (deBruc) who accompanied William the Conqueror (1066) in the invasion of Britain. The word "brook" derives from the Old English broc and appears in the Medieval predecessors of "Brooks" such as "Ate-Broc" and "Atte-Broc". The surname arrived in North America from England in the mid-seventeenth century.

    The surname is recorded in Ireland from the 1600s. O'Laughlin reports that "some of the name could stem from Irish origins, the name being changed into the English word 'Brook' or Brooks." The surname is also found among English-speaking Ashkenazi Jews, deriving from the male Hebrew given name Boruch, meaning "blessed".

    Brooks (mango)

    The 'Brooks' mango (also known as 'Brooks Late') is a late-season commercial mango cultivar that originated in south Florida. It is a parent of several varieties from the state.

    History

    The original tree reportedly grew from a seed of the 'Sandersha' mango that was planted on the property of a Mr. Brooks in Miami, Florida in 1910. The 'Sandersha' parentage of 'Brooks' was later supported by a 2005 pedigree analysis. The tree first fruited in 1916 and propagation began in 1924. After 'Haden', it was the second Florida cultivar to be named. 'Brooks' went on to gain some commercial acceptance and is still grown on some commercial scale in Florida and in Africa. It was also a parent of several Florida mangoes, including 'Kent', 'Sensation', 'Hatcher' and probably 'Keitt'.

    'Brooks' trees are planted in the collections of the USDA's germplasm repository in Miami, Florida, the University of Florida's Tropical Research and Education Center in Homestead, Florida, and the Miami-Dade Fruit and Spice Park, also in Homestead.
