Where Does the Brändlein Surname Come From?

Before spelling settled in the modern era, so Brandl could easily become Brändlein.

Read literally, Brändlein points to “Little Brand / burnt clearing”. Brändlein is built on the same root as Brandl, with the ending -ein. Spellings drifted because names were written down by ear in parish books, tax rolls and passenger lists. The same family of names includes Brandel and Brendl.
