Braxden, of Norse origin, is an uncommon yet distinctive given name for males. It consists of two elements: 'Bra' which is derived from Old Norse 'Brandr', meaning 'sword'; and 'Xden', believed to be a variant of the Old English element 'Eadhen', denoting 'home'. The combined form, Braxden, is therefore thought to signify 'home with the sword'. This name offers a unique blend of old-world heritage and modern rarity, making it an appealing choice for parents seeking something different yet rooted in history.
"The name Braxden experienced fluctuations in popularity over the years, with a peak of 22 births in 2013 and a significant drop to 5 births in both 2008 and 2023. The most consistent period was between 2011 and 2015, with an average of around 14 births per year."
