Brentson is a modern English patronymic given name built on Brent + son, literally “son of Brent.” Brent began as a surname from several English place-names and from the River Brent; its roots are traced either to Old English brant “steep, high” (referring to a hill or slope) or to a Brittonic element akin to Brigant- “exalted/holy.” Thus Brentson carries the layered sense of “son of Brent,” with echoes of height, steep hills, or sanctity.

Use of Brentson surfaces in late 20th-century records, fitting the broader rise of surname-style first names in the Anglophone world. The name remains rare and is sometimes conflated with Brenton or Branson. Variant spellings include Brentson, Brentsen, and Brentsyn; short forms Bren and Brent are common. Related names and near-cognates include Brenton and Brentley. Its crisp cadence and clear patronymic structure make Brentson familiar yet distinctive.
