Bramble
Origin:British
Meaning:Rough, prickly shrub; Blackberry bush
Whether you're looking for a nature-inspired name to complement baby's sweetness or something with a sharp, prickly edge to its vibe, Bramble may just be the one. A choice you wouldn't hear every day, Bramble is a gender-neutral name that refers to a type of thorny shrub or blackberry bush. Bramble stems from the Old English word brēmel and began its journey as a British last name for those who lived by a blackberry thicket or the place Brambley.
