Branly is an uncommon French male given name, derived from the Breton language. It is thought to mean 'from the hill'. The name was popularized by Edouard Branly, a French physicist who invented the coherer, a crucial component in early radio technology.
Between 2009 and 2021, the name Branly was given to a total of 18 babies, with birth years showing a gap from 2009 to 2011, followed by an increase in usage in 2021.
