Rembrandt comes from old Dutch name parts Rem- and -brand, and the -brand part is like the English word brand, which can mean a 'fire' or a 'mark'. A helpful way to remember the painter Rembrandt is to think of a bright or burning light, which fits his famous use of light and shadow in his paintings.
