Brandy is associated with the meaning “Named after the alcoholic spirit beverage” — a beautiful sentiment to see brought to life in your child’s room.
Brandy started as the name for a distilled spirit before becoming a given name in the twentieth century. The word itself comes from the Dutch "brandewijn," meaning "burnt wine," referring to the distillation process that heats wine to create the amber liquor. As a personal name, Brandy emerged in America during the 1960s and 1970s, part of a wave of names inspired by everyday words, nature, and pleasant-sounding vocabulary.
