Brandyn Origin and Meaning

The name Brandyn is a boy's name.

Brandyn is a modern spelling variant of Brandon, a masculine name with English origins meaning 'beacon hill' or 'broom hill.' This alternative spelling gained popularity in the late 20th century as parents sought more distinctive versions of traditional names. The 'y' substitution gives the name a contemporary edge while maintaining the familiar sound of the original. Brandon itself derives from an Old English surname that became popular as a first name in the 1950s-1970s. The Brandyn spelling peaked in usage during the 1990s but remains in use today. This variation appeals to parents who appreciate the strong, classic nature of Brandon but desire a more unique spelling to help their child stand out.
