Influencer couple Rachel and Jordan Flom put Brisbane on the baby name map when they used it for one of their triplet sons, born in 2024. Australian place names — from Adelaide to Sydney to Victoria — have long been favorites among parents, but Brisbane has a more modern, gender-neutral appeal.
 
The Australian city was named after the Brisbane River, itself named after Sir Thomas Brisbane, a governor of New South Wales. Sir Brisbane was of Scottish descent, as was his surname — a traditional Scottish clan name from a nickname for one with broken bones or who would break others' bones. Ultimately, it is derived from the Scottish Gaelic bris, meaning "break" and the Old English bān, "bone".
