Brandisse is Welsh in Origin.

Brandisse is a modern feminine given name in English, most likely an elaboration of Brandi/Brandis with the French-influenced suffix -isse. Its root traces to the Germanic element brand (Old Norse brandr), meaning “firebrand, torch, sword,” seen in surnames like Brand, Brandis and in the Jewish surname Brandeis (from Czech Brandýs). The beverage term brandy (from Dutch brandewijn, “burnt wine”) helped propel Brandi and related forms into vogue in the late 20th century; Brandisse inherits that lineage with a more ornate silhouette.

Usage is rare and chiefly North American, appearing from the 1980s onward as part of creative, elaborated spellings. Related forms include Brandi/Brandy, Brandis, Brandice, and the surname Brandeis; short forms can be Bran, Brandi, or Andi. The name’s sense centers on heat and brightness - “firebrand” or “sword” - sometimes extended to “burnt clearing” via place-name origins, suggesting energy, resolve, and spark.
