The name Branson is of English origin, derived from the Old Norse 'Bran' meaning "burning" or "flame," and 'son' meaning "son." It was traditionally used as a surname but has increasingly been adopted as a given name in recent decades.
In 2003 alone, five newborns were named Branson. However, it appears that this name hasn't gained much traction over time, with a total of just five babies given the name Branson since records began.
