Braxston

Meaning of Braxston

The name Braxston is a modern and unique choice for baby boys, often seen as a variation of the more common name Braxton. Pronounced as BRAX-tun (/bræks.tən/), it carries a strong and contemporary sound that appeals to many parents looking for something distinctive. The name has English origins, derived from an Old English surname meaning "Brock's town," where "Brock" refers to a badger. Although not widely popular, Braxston has consistently appeared in U.S. birth records since 1990, with its highest occurrence in 2012 when it ranked 4002nd. The slight fluctuations in its popularity over the years indicate that while it remains relatively uncommon, it continues to be a favored pick among those seeking a less conventional yet strong-sounding name for their sons.
