Brandin

Where Brandin comes from

Brandin hasn't made it into the dictionaries we draw on, and nobody well known enough for an encyclopedia has carried it yet — so for now its story is the one the SSA record tells. Names that spell a familiar sound a new way often live here for a while before anyone writes them down.

    #3,963 among boys, 7 babies — the first year at least five got the name.

    125 babies named Brandin — more than any year before or since.

    American football player, wide receiver
  4. 2003

    The fade
    The first year with half the peak's births — down to #2,237.
