Branch
About Branch
Branch is an attractive name with associations both with trees and with branching out into brave new worlds. Baseball's Branch (born Wesley, with Branch as his middle name) Rickey broke the color barrier by hiring Jackie Robinson for the Dodgers. Like Leaf, Branch makes a nice, not-so-obvious, addition to the tree category.
Pronounced BRANCH.
As of October 2026, Branch ranked #3455 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #806 in 1889.
Editor's take: The name Branch is a boy's name of Latin origin.
