The place name can be from Celtic words meaning "holy one" (if it refers to the River Brent), or "high place," literally, "from a steep hill" (if it refers to the villages in Somerset and Devon, England) (Mills 1991). The surname often indicates that ones ancestors lived in a place called Brent, but it can also come from the Middle English word brent meaning burned, indicating that ones ancestor either lived near a burned-over area, or was a criminal who had been branded on the cheek (Hanks and Hodges 1988). |
