Brandy

Would be legendary. Never be ashamed of your name. It would be like howling at the moon.

I like the name. Amazing and powerful.

I was always told the name Brandy (i, ie, ee) meant: "sweet" and or "foundation"/ "strong". I wish I could find the old book that had documentation on the meaning, but it is out there... my mother found it from a name book from England. So, the name essentially means something more positive than a drink - it actually defines character.

The word "brandy" actually comes from the Dutch word for "burnt". [noted -ed]

The name "Brandy" was NOT after the alcoholic drink! Most people think so, but it actually means "Big heart" and "Love". I don't know where it came from. (And my name is not Brandy, it's Noreen).

Perhaps the reason I find this etymology limitted is that I am a Brandy; however, numerous name-etymology works I have searched also list Brandy as a feminine of Brandon, which has its roots in the word "prince" (I believe from French, but I could be wrong). Thus, Brandy, in a round-about way would also mean "princess" or "female prince".
