Saint Brandon of Man ({{langx|gv|Braddan ny Mannin}}), also referred to as Brandinus, or Brendinus was Bishop of Man until approximately 1025 CE. The parish of Braddan is said to be named after him, although there have been alternative suggestions that this parish is named after St Brendan the Navigator or after the Manx word for salmon.{{cite book|last1=Feltham|first1=John|title=A Tour Through The Island Of Man, In 1797 And 1798|date=1798|url=http://www.isle-of-man.com/manxnotebook/manxsoc/msvol06/ptour11.htm}}{{cite book|last1=Harrison|first1=William|title=An account of the diocese of Sodor and Man and St. German's Cathedral: also a record of the bishops of Sodor and Man and a tabular statement of the rectors, vicars, and chaplains in the seventeen parishes in said diocese|date=1879|publisher=Manx Society|page=54}}{{cite book|last1=Booth|first1=Thomas|title=Kerruish's new illustrated guide to the Isle of Man|date=1856|page=54|edition=Third|url=https://play.google.com/store/books/details?id=5dYHAAAAQAAJ&rdid=book-5dYHAAAAQAAJ&rdot=1}}{{cite book|last1=Moore|first1=Arthur|title=A History of the Isle of Man, Volume 1|date=1900|publisher=TF Unwin|page=75|url=https://play.google.com/store/books/details?id=KIgNAAAAYAAJ&rdid=book-KIgNAAAAYAAJ&rdot=1}}{{cite book|last1=Chaloner|first1=James|title=A Short Treatise of the Isle of Man|date=1653|url=http://www.isle-of-man.com/manxnotebook/manxsoc/msvol10/chap3.htm}}
