Meaning & Origin of Brand
Meaning: Sword; also burning torch.
Origin: Germanic (surname).
A common claim: Brand is said to mean 'flaming sword.' Actually: 'Flaming sword' merges two separate historical senses — 'sword' from the English/Germanic line and 'fire' from the separate Scandinavian line — into a phrase that isn't itself attested.
