Broom-covered hill or gorse hill
Brandin is a variant of the English name Brandon, derived from Old English elements meaning 'hill' and 'broom' (a yellow-flowered shrub). While often used as a creative spelling of Brandon, it has a distinct visual identity that peaked in popularity during the late 20th century. It shares the same rugged, landscape-inspired roots as many traditional English surnames.
