Meaning: Badger

Brax is a masculine name inspired by the Old English surname, Braxton. This studly appellation means "badger" and is for the tenacious tot you're on the verge of raising. Brax gets its badger endearment from the Old English word brocc, as Braxton means “Brock’s settlement.” Take away the “ton” and you’ve got yourself a short and handsome title for the new cool kid in town. While badgers may be small, they famously aren’t afraid of anything—perhaps baby Brax will carry this fighting spirit with them.
