Etymology

The word "Brie" comes from the name of the region in France where this famous cheese was first made. The name of the region itself, Brie, has an unknown origin, though it's been suggested that it comes from a Gaulish word. The cheese has been made there for centuries, and its name simply became "Brie," after its place of origin. The first documented mentions of the cheese date back to the Middle Ages.
