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.
