History & Origin

Brandace is a coined name that fuses Brandy or Branda with Candace, a blend typical of the nineteen-eighties taste for fresh -ace endings. It carries the sound of both parents rather than a single older meaning.

Brandace appears in United States records from the early nineteen-seventies, reaching its small peak around 1983 when it was given to only about twenty girls a year before fading. A girl named Brandace at that peak would be in her early forties today.

Did you know? The second half echoes Candace, which comes from Kandake, a royal title once borne by the queens of ancient Nubia and Kush.
