The most serious-sounding variant spelling of the Brand-Brant-Brandt group. Since I've learned that it's from a last name coming from some very cool Nordic or Germanic given names, it has grown on me. Unlike many other older names from those origins, it does not sound very unusual to modern ears. As an added bonus, the fact that it is monosyllabic makes it easy to pair in a first-middle name combination.
