Brax is a boy's baby name of modern American origin, a short form of Braxton — the Old English place name meaning 'Brock's settlement.' With a bold, punchy X-ending, Brax has the same appeal as Jax, Dax, and Knox — a strong one-syllable name that sounds both ancient and unmistakably contemporary.
Brax has 18+ years of history in the U.S., first appearing in 2006.
