The original name can be traced back to St. Brendan the Navigator, a 6th-century Irish monk famous for his legendary voyage across the Atlantic. Brandan offers a slightly distinctive spelling while maintaining the strong, reliable character of the traditional forms. The name gained moderate popularity in the late 20th century, particularly in the 1980s and 1990s, though this specific spelling has always been less common than Brandon or Brendan, giving it a touch of uniqueness.
