The way this word is spelled it is not known what was on the mind of the questioner. So here are the alternatives:
<1> brahman : The ONE abiding Consciousness in the Vedanta- world view. "bR^ih dhAtu means to expand to fill
<2> brAhmaNaH : A person belonging to the Priestly Class.
A brAhmaNaH is so called because brahma also means the mantra. Since as a member of the priestly class he is expected to keep the mantra in his mouth i.e. keep repeating it to keep it live he is called a brAhmaNaH
How does one become a brAhamaNa? The smR^iti says brahma j~nAnenaiva brAhmaNaH = by attaining the knowledge of brahman only one becomes a true brAhmaNa otherwise he is only one by birth, or one in the making.
