What does brent mean?Small dark geese that breed in the north and migrate southward

Actually:

Brent is an English place name and surname. The place name can be from Celtic words meaning "holy one" (if it refers to the River Brent), or "high place," literally, "from a steep hill" (if it refers to the villages in Somerset and Devon, England) (Mills 1991). The surname often indicates that one's ancestors lived in a place called Brent, but it can also come from the Middle English word brent meaning burned, indicating that one's ancestor either lived near a burned-over area, or was a criminal who had been branded on the cheek.

another meaning of the name brent is: Brent (English) - Fiery hill, Sword-blade (B)
