Brynda

Mighty in strength and spirit, your little Brynda will know their worth and confidently stand their ground. Derived from the Old Norse brandr, meaning "sword," "fire," or "torch," Brynda is a bold feminine name linked to its more familiar form, Brenda. It also shares roots with the masculine Brendan, originating from the Latin Brendanus, the Old Irish Bréanainn, and the Welsh breenhin, meaning "king" or "prince." Some sources connect Brynda to the Old English Brom Dun, meaning "the hill of gorse." Meanwhile, in Irish bran translates to "raven," nodding to what was, perhaps, the inspiration behind one of the characters that appeared in George R. R. Martin's Game of Thrones series. Brynda’s connected meanings make it an excellent choice for those who appreciate all things medieval, from flaming torches and sword fights to more mysterious characters like those clever little raven messengers!
