Afton: a river in Scotland, for my nature theme. Afton: a Swedish word that means afternoon or evening, for Bjorkâs Scandinavian feel. Afton: a name ending with an ân,â for my weird enjoyment of names ending with ânâ. And âSweet Aftonâ, one of our favorite songs.
Alternately, in Olde English the word âbrantâ meant âsteep, tallâ and âlÄahâ meant âmeadow, clearingâ and so could have developed as a surname for a person who dwelled in a high meadow. Lastly, the male name Brant is thought to be derived from âBrandrâ, an Old Norse nickname meaning âswordâ. In which case the name could have been brought to England by way of Viking raiders and ancient Scandinavian settlers.
