Brasher is an uncommon English given name of unknown origin. It is believed to have been coined in the late 20th century, possibly as a variant of Brass, a surname derived from Old French 'bras', meaning 'arm'. The name Brasher may have been inspired by the term 'brash', which means confident or bold, suggesting that it could imply certain qualities upon those who bear it. However, there is no definitive historical or etymological evidence to support this theory.
