Name variations
Brychan had Irish and Greek ancestry. He came from Ireland to Wales, therefore his original name was likely to have been Irish prior to his being called Brychan which is of Welsh etymology. In some sources he is called Brocanus which is the Latinized version of the Irish name Broccan. He is also sometimes referred to as Braccan, Brachan, Brecin and Breccan.
