An uncommon Dutch pick — distinctive and rare.
Brandee is a girl's baby name of Dutch origin, a phonetic spelling variant of Brandy, from the Dutch brandewijn, meaning 'burnt wine' (brandy spirit) — a word that became a given name through its association with warmth and richness in mid-20th century America.
Brandee was part of the Brandy/Brandi/Brandee cluster popular in the 1970s and 80s. The -ee ending was a stylistic choice that gave the name a lighter, more contemporary feel while keeping its warmth intact.
Brandee has 58+ years of history in the U.S., first appearing in 1961.
