About the name Brant
Brant belongs to the English & American tradition. Its roots are documented, even though its precise meaning is not recorded in the standard references — an honest gap we prefer to a confident guess.
In the United States, Brant first appears in Social Security records in 1918. It climbed to its best-ever rank of #519 in 1970, and in 2024 28 babies received the name — 9,535 in total since 1880. Those are the official counts, not estimates.
