Brennen is a masculine name of Irish origin. Coming from the Irish word braon, this name translates to “sorrow” or “teardrop,” and is a unique way to remind baby that sadness is a natural, healthy emotion. Brennan may also come from the name Branán, which means “little raven.” With their unique place in Celtic mythology—and insane levels of intelligence—the raven makes unique inspiration for baby. If you want them to embrace their dark side, feathers and all, Brennan definitely does the trick.
