Brandyn: 71 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 11 births in 2007.
Brandyn is a modern respelling of Brandon, an Old English name derived from a place name meaning "broom-covered hill" — *brom* for the broom shrub and *dūn* for hill. While Brandyn itself has few notable historical bearers, the better-known Brandon form has been carried by actors like Brandon Lee and athletes such as Brandon Marshall. The root place, Brandon in Suffolk, England, shares this origin, and the name also appears across North America in countless towns and streets. In Scotland, Brandyn remains an uncommon choice, reflecting a trend for personalised spellings that give a familiar sound a fresh, individual twist.
