Braydon is a boy's name of Irish origin steeped in enlightening myth. The name can be traced to the ancient Irish word bratán, which means "salmon."

In the famous myth, Fionn mac Cumhaill, the famed Irish warrior, tasted the flesh of the wise salmon and received the world's knowledge. Invigorated by this vast wealth of insight, Fionn would go on to lead the legendary Fianna, whose famed heroes rule the pages of Irish mythology. Such promising ties will leave you wondering what unique perceptions and inspirations your little Braydon will have in store.
