Bran is Celtic, Irish, Welsh in Origin.
Bran is a masculine Celtic name taken from the common noun for a crow or raven. Its earliest clear forms are Old Irish bran and Welsh brân, continuing Proto-Celtic *branos, raven; the Welsh circumflex marks a long vowel. It is not etymologically the same as Brandon, whose Old English brōm and dūn signify broom-covered hill, though Bran may serve as its nickname.
Medieval Irish tradition names Bran mac Febail as the voyager of Immram Brain, and Welsh literature has Brân the Blessed, Bendigeidfran, the giant king in the Second Branch of the Mabinogi. Early rulers also bore the name, including two kings of Leinster. Modern English use is rare and now strongly colored by fantasy, especially Brandon Bran Stark in George R. R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire. Brân and Brann are close spellings.
