Braydyn Origin and Meaning

The name Braydyn is a girl's name.

Braydyn represents a modern feminine variant of the more commonly masculine Braden or Brayden. These names originated as an Anglicized form of the Irish surname Ó Bradáin, meaning 'descendant of Bradán' (salmon). The distinctive spelling with the 'y' reflects the contemporary trend toward unique orthography in traditional names. While Brayden and its variants have been quite popular for boys since the 1990s, the feminine usage remains relatively uncommon. The name carries a contemporary, slightly androgynous quality that appeals to parents seeking gender-neutral options. Braydyn's popularity reflects broader naming trends that favor surname-derived first names and creative spellings, particularly in North America and Australia.
