Brendolyn

Brendolyn is a contemporary name for girls that has a blend of origins to unravel. This feminine moniker is an elaboration of Brenda, perhaps with a bit of inspiration from Gwendolyn. Brenda derives from the Irish Bréanainn, which was Latinized as Brendanus and means "hill of gorse." Gorse is a common flowering bush in Ireland that has bright yellow blossoms and is meaningful in Irish culture. Not only is it useful for fuel and thatching roofs, but gorse has medicinal properties, too. Another root for Brenda is the Old Norse name Brandr, adding a sharp edge to this moniker with the meanings "sword," "torch," and "flame." Brenda may also come from the Welsh word breenhín, crowning your little one as "prince" or even "king." With much to offer from several ancient kingdoms, Brendolyn is just waiting for someone like baby to give it the spotlight it deserves.
