Brande is English in Origin.
Brande is a modern English given name and surname variant with Germanic roots. It derives from the Old Norse brandr and Old English brand, words for "firebrand, torch" and by extension "sword," also echoed in German Brand "fire." As a place-name element, it refers to land cleared by burning, seen in the Danish town Brande; this toponymic sense also fed surnames that later became given names. The name is broadly unisex, though in North America it skews feminine.
As a forename, Brande rose in late-20th-century US usage alongside Brandy/Brandi and creative spellings like Brandee, before fading in the 1990s; it remains uncommon today. Variants and cognates include Brand, Brandt, Brandi/Brandy, Brandee, and the Scandinavian Brand/Brandr; Brenda is sometimes linked as a feminine development. The core meaning evokes brightness, heat, and martial edge - "fiery one" or "sword."
