ArchivesRe: My column on Brendan
in reply to a message by clevelandkentevans
Thanks for sharing! Brendan has always been a fascinating name to me.
Saint Brendan's island is a popular legend in my area, the Canary Islands (where the myth is known as Isla de San Borondón), to the point it has become vernacular, besides Madeira and the Azores. However, the name Brendan in various of its Spanish forms is rather obscure, even though of the island it has never caught on.
