Posted on: Branson Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/FamilyAssoc/Branson/10123 Surname: Branson ------------------------- In response to your question regarding the name Branson I can only say that it is English for sure. Meaning the son of Bran. Bran was the name of a Celtic god, you can do some research on this name in the library or on the internet. Now the name being Celtic can also mean that it could come from Denmark by an even earlier way, that is prior to the name being English. If you find out anything more on the origans of this name I would be interested. The earliest person that I know of with the last name of Branson was born in 1605.
