History & Origin

Brentt is a spelling variant of Brent, an English surname drawn from a place word meaning 'hill' or 'high place.' Adding a second t was a small late-twentieth-century way to make a familiar name look distinct.

It never became common, given to only about fifteen boys a year at its peak around 1990, well behind the standard Brent. A Brentt of that vintage would be in his thirties now.

Did you know? The single-t Brent was a clean-cut favorite of mid-century America; Brentt is simply that name dressed up with an extra letter for individuality.
