Braylen for boys#725 US
While Braylen is drifting downward now, it's ranked among the Top 1000 boy names in the US for two decades and is sure to stay there for perhaps two more. Over 500 baby boys were named Braylen last year, and 40 baby girls, so while theoretically unisex, it's not really.
You'll find as many meanings for Braylen online as you'll find name sites, from broad valley to lion strength to gift of God to salmon, but Braylen is an invented name and has no meaning beyond being a combination of fashionable sounds.
Braylen for girls#4572 US
Braylen is a trendy boys' name that's ranked on the US Top 1000 for nearly 20 years now. While the name is definitely given to some baby girls in the US -- 40 last year, to be exact -- it's used less than ten percent of the time for girls and so does not make out cutoff for being considered gender neutral.
Pronounced BRAY-lun.
As of October 2026, Braylen ranked #725 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #316 in 2011.
