Re: Whats "Branton" mean?
Maybe these two English names can help:BRANDON dweller at the beacon hill. BRANDT farmer on land cleared by burning. Often the 't' and the 'd' are interchangeable ... if I had to guess, I'd say it means something like "town at the top of a hill" or perhaps "town that was founded on land cleared by burning" ...just a guess ...

Hey,
Thanks I discovered that it means "farmstead" or "settlement".
Sincerely,
