About Brennon

Brennon is a masculine name that evolved as a variant of Brendan or Brandon. It has Irish and Gaelic roots, where the original form Brendan means "prince" or "little raven." The distinctive spelling with the double 'n' and 'on' ending gives it a modern flair while maintaining its traditional heritage. Brennon gained modest popularity in the United States during the 1990s and early 2000s, though it has never ranked among the top 100 names. Parents often choose Brennon for its strong sound and slightly unique spelling that sets it apart from more common variants. The name carries connotations of strength and leadership, reflecting its princely origins.

Pronounced BREN-un.

As of October 2026, Brennon ranked #5648 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #867 in 1999.
