Brandé is of French origin, meaning "burned" or "burned mark". It's a unisex given name that has been used in both France and the United States for centuries. The name gained popularity during the Middle Ages when it was often given to children born with distinctive birthmarks. Today, Brandé remains an uncommon but unique choice for parents looking for a distinctive name for their child.
The name Brande experienced significant popularity between the mid-70s and early-80s, with a peak of 173 births in 1974. However, its usage has steadily declined since then, reaching as low as 5 births in some years from the late 90s to 2004. In total, Brande has been given to 1141 newborns over this period.
