<p>Bray as a feminine name is quite uncommon, as it is more typically encountered as a masculine name or surname. The name derives from Irish and Gaelic origins, possibly from the place name Bray in Ireland (near Dublin), which comes from the Irish "bre" meaning hill or upland. As a given name, Bray could also be related to the Old English word meaning "noise" or "loud cry," particularly the sound a donkey makes. In recent years, Bray has occasionally been used as a unisex name, fitting the trend of surname-style names becoming given names. Its brevity and strong single-syllable structure give it a contemporary feel, appealing to parents seeking unique, gender-neutral options with Celtic connections.</p>
