Meaning
Means "raven" in
Welsh. According to the Second
Branch of the Mabinogi [1], Brân the Blessed (called
Bendigeidfran) was a giant king of
Britain.
He was the son of the divine figure Llŷr. After his sister
Branwen was mistreated by her husband the
Irish king Matholwch, Brân led an attack on
Ireland (the text says that
He was so big
He was able to wade there). Although victorious, the British lost all except seven men with Brân being mortally wounded by a poisoned spear.
He asked the survivors to cut of his head and return with it to
Britain. The head continued to speak for many years until it was buried in
London.
