Brae

US Popularity Rank: 11088

Origin: British

Meaning: Cry out; Borderland

Once in a generation, a truly adorable and unique name crops up and rises from obscurity. The boy's name Brae, meaning "cry out" or "borderland," is destined to be that one! Brae is a modern respelling of Bray and has British and Old French roots. It can be traced back to the Cornish people of England, who originated from the southwestern coast of Cornwall. If Brae doesn't quite suit your little munchkin, try out Bray, Braylee, or the related Bree and Brea.
