Origin and meaning of Brando
Brando comes from the Germanic brand, 'sword, blade, burning brand': a warrior name evoking strength and ardour. It is a short form of names like Aldobrando or Ildebrando. Typically Italian and fairly rare, it has enjoyed a modest revival in recent years for its bold, masculine sound and its air of being at once ancient and modern.
