Life
Brandon of Man was bishop of the Isle of Man until about the year 1025. The parish of Braddan is said to be named after him, although others think it comes from Saint Brendan the Navigator or from the Manx word for salmon. He is also called Brandinus or Brendinus.
The Orthodox Church commemorates him on 20 October.
