About Braydon

Like its cousin Braden, Braydon has been falling in popularity in recent years, perhaps signaling a weakening of the 'aden'-name epidemic. There are thousands of young Bradens and Braydons out there, including the son of Melissa Joan Hart.

Braydon for girls

Braydon as a feminine name is an uncommon gender assignment, as it's predominantly used for boys. Derived from an English surname that may have meant 'broad hill,' Braydon gained popularity as a masculine name in the 1990s-2000s alongside similar names like Jayden and Kayden. The -don suffix traditionally signals masculine names in English. As a female name, Braydon represents the modern trend of gender-neutral naming and parents' increasing willingness to cross traditional gender boundaries. The name has a contemporary sound with its trendy 'ay' vowel construction. While still rare for girls, Braydon offers a strong, modern alternative to more traditionally feminine names.

Pronounced BRAY-dun.

As of October 2026, Braydon ranked #1778 for boys in US births in 2025 and #13601 for girls in US births in 2011 SSA, peaked at #311 for boys in 2009 and #10828 for girls in 2004.
