Bransen is English, Germanic in Origin.

Bransen is a modern masculine given name with a patronymic flavor.

The name’s use as a forename is recent, gaining traction in North America alongside the late-20th-century trend for surname-style and -son/-sen names. It remains uncommon in formal statistics but feels familiar through the proximity of Brandon and Branson (as both surname and place name). Variants and near-forms include Branson (English -son spelling), Bransin/Bransyn (modern phonetic spellings), and related names Brandt, Brant, and Bronson. Short forms such as Bran or Brans occur informally.
