brandin is English in Origin.

Brandin is a modern respelling of Brandon/Branden, a name with two intertwined sources. As an English surname and place-name, Brandon comes from Old English brom + dun, “broom (gorse) hill.” In Ireland, Brandon arose as an Anglicized form of Breandán (Brendan), linked to a root meaning “prince” or “king,” reinforced by the cult of St. Brendan and place names such as Mount Brandon. Together these streams cemented Brandon - and by extension Brandin - as a sturdy, nature-tinged, saint-shadowed given name.

Adopted as a given name alongside surnames in the English-speaking world, Brandon surged in the late 20th century; Brandin surfaced during the same period as a distinctive update and remains the rarer spelling. Variants include Brandon, Branden, Brandan, and Brandyn, with related forms Brendan and Brendon. Brandin keeps Brandon’s familiar rhythm while offering a sleeker -in ending.
