The old name for brandy is "aqua vitae," which is Latin for "water of life." This term was used in the Middle Ages to describe distilled spirits, particularly those made from wine. Over time, the name evolved into "brandy," derived from the Dutch word "brandewijn," meaning "burnt wine," referring to the distillation process.
