A masculine given name of Irish origin.
From Irish 'Breandán,' possibly from 'brenhain' meaning sorrow or from 'bren' meaning raven. Saint Brendan the Navigator is a famous Irish saint with legendary voyage tales.
Saint Brendan supposedly sailed to America in a leather boat in the 500s, centuries before Columbus—and modern explorers actually built leather boats to test if it was possible. His legend shows how real a mythical voyage could be.
