Brenden is a modern spelling and variation of the traditional Irish name Brendan. This boy's name has a long tradition on the Emerald Isle, where it translates to mean "prince" or “king.” It is ideal for a little one who is bound to take up royal status as your little majesty at home! Brenden stems from the Old Irish Bréanainn or Breandán. Its meaning may also stem from the Old English Brom Dun, which signifies “the hill of gorse.” Popular alternatives to Brenden that sound and feel similar include Brennan, Branden, Braydon, and Branson. Brendan Gleeson is one of the best-known bearers of this name, having played Alastor “Mad-Eye” Moody in the universally loved Harry Potter film series.
