Braden is a name popular in the United States and Canada in recent years. It is derived from the Irish surname Ó Bradáin, meaning descendant of Bradan. Bradan is derived from a Gaelic word meaning "salmon." [ [http://www.behindthename.com/name/braden Behind the Name] ] The "bradán feasa" is the Salmon of Wisdom in an Irish legend about Fionn MacCool [Rosenkrantz, Linda, and Satran, Pamela Redmond (2007).
