Braxtyn and its more traditional counterpart, Braxton, may sound like modern inventions but they actually have a longer history than you might expect. Meaning "badger" or "Brock's settlement", Braxton was the given name of a Civil War general and also appears in Louisa May Alcott's Little Women and Harper Lee's To Kill A Mockingbird. It entered the US Top 1000 back in 1985, however it had been given to around 20 boys since the early 20th century. 
 
The Braxtyn variation appeared much later in 1995, peaked in 2017 when it was given to nearly 140 babies, before declining slightly. Given to 97 babies in 2024, the Braxtyn spelling might separate the name a little from Braxton Hicks contractions, but it's unlikely to be most people's intuitive spelling on hearing it.
