The Brandon Family originates from Ireland. According to historical records the family can find its roots in Kilkenny and County Kerry.

The Brandon name originates from different sources: two Celtic, one, Anglo-Saxon. Historically, the names have been used by these different cultures independent of one another. The Irish Brandon is the anglicized form of the Gaelic Mac Breandain, meaning “son of Breandan”.

The story of the Irish peoples is a long and winding tale. Along with the original Celtic tribes, the ancestral origins of the modern-day Irish can be connected to Scandinavia (including the Vikings), ancient British tribes, western France (including the Normans), northern Spain and Portugal, and others. The history of Ireland has been defined by its visitors; what they take and what they leave behind.
