terpsikeraunos:

sometimes i think about how the bronte sisters’ last name means thunder in greek (βροντή) like how much more goth can you get

and now i looked it up and according to this name etymology site 

Their father changed the spelling of the family surname from Brunty to Brontë, possibly to make it coincide with Greek βροντη meaning “thunder”.

so this was absolutely on purpose
