For other uses, see Brendan (disambiguation). Brendan is an Irish masculine given name in the English language. It is derived from the Gaelic name BreandÃ¡n, which is in turn derived from the earlier Old Irish BrÃ©nainn. 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.
