History and Origin
The name originates from the English surname Brandon. This surname can be derived from any of the numerous placenames in England so-named which are composed of two elements derived from the Old English language. The first element means "broom", "gorse"; and the second means "hill". There are several variant spellings of the given name Brandon; there is also, most probably, a feminine variant of the name. Brandon is considered to be a masculine name; however, in the United States during the 1980s, the name cracked the top 1,000th names recorded for female births; the name has since then fallen out of the top 1,000 female baby names.
English (mainly U.S.): transferred use of the surname, in origin a local name from any of various places so called, most of which get their name from Old English brōm broom, gorse + dūn hill. In 1982 this was the seventh commonest male given name among Blacks in the United States, and the twenty-third commonest among Whites. In part it may be regarded as an altered form of Brendan. There has probably also been some influence from the surname of the Italian American actor Marlon Brando (b. 1924).
