Braxton

History lovers with a penchant for British culture will appreciate this boy's name. While Braxton makes for a lovely first name, it's historically used as a last name, with variants including Brackstone, Brockston, and Brownstone. With it's Old English roots, some translations include "Brock's town," "Bracc's settlement," and "Brown's settlement." This can be a great way to encourage baby to settle into their hometown and build their roots, no matter where they are. Braxton also derives from the Old English word brocc, meaning “badger”.

Some other translations include "stone-breaker" or "stonemason," from the Middle English words breken and ston. It may also come from the German bracke meaning "brushwood," and the Old English word broc meaning "brook." Whether baby prefers to have a strong-as-stone demeanor or a go-with-the-flow mindset, Braxton can provide plenty of inspiration.
