 Brent
The surname often indicates that one's ancestors lived in a place called Brent, but it can also come from the Middle English word brent meaning burned, indicating that one's ancestor either lived near a burned-over area, or was a criminal who had been branded on the cheek (Hanks and Hodges 1988).
Brent has also become a regularly used given name, being among the thousand most common names for boys born in the United States since 1933.
[1] When used as a given name today, Brent is sometimes a short form of Brenton, but this was probably not the original inspiration for Brent's use as a given name, since Brenton's own regular use as a first name came many years after Brent was established in that role (Evans 2006).
