Brendans

Brendans is a term that can refer to multiple people who share the given name Brendan, or, less commonly, to a surname form encountered in English-language contexts. In typical usage it serves as a plural reference when discussing several individuals named Brendan rather than as an independent biographical entry.

The given name Brendan is of Irish origin, derived from Old Irish forms such as Brénainn or Bréanainn. It is widely associated with St. Brendan the Navigator, a fifth- to sixth-century Irish monk famed for legendary sea voyages. Etymological interpretations of Brendan often connect the name to meanings such as “little raven” or “prince,” though exact roots are debated among scholars.

As a plural form, Brendans appears mainly in English texts when enumerating or referring to more than one person named Brendan. It is not a common surname, and when encountered as a surname, it is rare and context-dependent.

Notable bearers of the given name Brendan include individuals across sports, arts, and public life; however, the plural Brendans does not denote a single person. For detailed information on individual people named Brendan, readers typically consult articles dedicated to the given name Brendan or to specific biographies.
