brendan (given name)









































brendan is an irish masculine given name in the english language. it is derived from the gaelic name breandán, which is in turn derived from the earlier old irish brénainn. the old welsh "breenhin" is the root of the name, meaning prince or king. the mediaeval latin form of the name, brendanus, has also influenced the modern english and irish forms. variant spellings of "brendan" are brendon and brenden. in some cases it is possible that the given name "brandon" is also a variant of "brendan". a variant spelling of the irish "breandán" is breanndán.









































section::::etymology.
brendan (given name)
the overall accepted origin for the female name brenda is the old nordic male name "brandr" meaning both "torch" and "sword": evidently the male name brandr took root in areas of the british isles under nordic dominance and through being heard as '"brenda" was eventually adopted as a female name. the name brenda was probably influenced by the iconic gaelic male name brendan: although linguistically it is unlikely that the name brendan would yield the name brenda as its feminine form, the name brenda is widely considered a feminine form of the name brendan in ireland, scotland and wales.
