[edit] Name

The use of Brandon as a given name is a transferred use from the English surname, which was derived from a place name meaning "broom hill". In Ireland, Brandon has also sometimes been used as an alternative form for Brendan. Also, the irish gaelic translation for 'Brandon' means 'mighty raven'. [1]
