History & Origin

Brendin reworks Brendan, an Irish name carried by the seafaring Saint Brendan and usually tied to a Welsh word for 'prince'. The -in ending gives the traditional name a contemporary, streamlined look.

Unlike most names here, its little peak came in the early two-thousands rather than mid-century, part of the fashion for fresh spellings of familiar Irish names; it stays rare and reads as a modern variant of a well-worn classic.

Did you know? Brendin is a modern variant of Brendan that surfaced late, touching a small peak around 2003 at only a few dozen boys a year.
