Variant spellings are Brendon and Brenden. In some cases it is possible that the given name Brandon is also a variant of Brendan. A variant spelling of the Irish ''Breandán'' is Breanndán. Etymology The English Brendan is an Anglicised form of the Irish ''Breandán'', in turn derived from the Old Irish ''Brénainn''.
