Bradon

Bradon is a masculine name that represents a modern variation of the more common Brandon. Derived from Old English elements meaning 'hill covered with broom' or simply 'broom hill,' it refers to a place where the yellow flowering broom plant grows abundantly. This streamlined spelling emerged in the late 20th century as parents sought subtle variations on popular classics. While less common than Brandon (which peaked in popularity during the 1980s-90s), Bradon offers a slightly fresher take on the familiar name. The single-d spelling creates a more phonetic representation of how the name is typically pronounced. Bradon maintains the strong, approachable quality of its predecessor while offering a touch of distinction.

Pronounced BRAD-un.

As of October 2026, Bradon ranked #12306 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #1361 in 2000.
