Brexton
- Description:
  Brexton is a strong, modern masculine name that emerged in American naming patterns during the early 21st century.

The name began gaining modest attention in the 2010s as parents sought distinctive alternatives to more common 'Br-' names like Brandon or Bradley. Brexton projects qualities of strength and masculinity while maintaining a polished, upscale feel. Its structure follows the popular trend of two-syllable surnames ending in '-ton' becoming given names. Though still relatively uncommon, Brexton appeals particularly to parents drawn to names with a contemporary edge and subtle British connotations.
