Brian is a male given name of Irish and Breton origin, as well as a surname of Occitan origin. It is common in the English-speaking world. It is possible that the name is derived from an Old Celtic word meaning "high" or "noble". For example, the element bre means "hill"; which could be transferred to mean "eminence" or "exalted one". The name is quite popular in Ireland, on account of Brian Boru, a 10th-century High King of Ireland. The name was also quite popular in East Anglia during the Middle Ages. This is because the name was introduced to England by Bretons following the Norman Conquest. Bretons also settled in Ireland along with the Normans in the 12th century, and 'their' name was mingled with the 'Irish' version. Also, in the north-west of England, the 'Irish' name was introduced by Scandinavian settlers from Ireland. Within the Gaelic speaking areas of Scotland, the name was at first only used by professional families of Irish origin. It was the fourth most popular male name in England and Wales in 1934, but a sharp decline followed over the remainder of the 20th century and by 1994 it had fallen out of the top 100. It retained its popularity in the United States for longer; its most popular period there was from 1968–1979 when it consistently ranked between eighth and tenth. The name has become increasingly popular in South America - particularly Argentina and Uruguay since the early 1990s.

Hendershot is a surname. Hendershot is the Americanized version of Hinneschied. Hinneschied was thought to come from the surname Hayderschatte. Hayderschatte came from Micheal Hayder and Charlotte Schatte. When they had been married, they combined last names and therefore created the surname Hayderschatte. Shortly after however, it is believed that their son, Wilhelm, had changed it to Hinneschied. Before the Hendershots came to America, they had lived in the Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. The original farm house that the German Hinneschieds lived in is still there today. The first Hinneschied/Hendershot to come to America, Johann Micheal Hendershot, had brought his family and himself to Tewksbury New Jersey on June 13, 1710. The Hendershot house in Tewksbury New Jersey is also still standing. It is believed that all Hendershots in the United States of America and North America can trace their genealogy back to Johann and his family. In 2020, there are 7,324 people with the surname Hendershot. This makes it the 5369th most popular last name.
