Brule River is a name derived from the French brulé meaning "burnt"; the English name has lost the diacritic and has an anglicized, monosyllabic pronunciation (/ˈbrul/ BROOL).[6][7]

Half of the river disappears into a pothole known as "the Devil's Kettle" in Judge C. R. Magney State Park. Studies in 2017 showed that the water comes up at the bottom of the river near the kettle.[8]
