About Bronson
This surname has a modern yet old New England feel, perhaps because of the association with the transcendental teacher and reformer Bronson (born Amos Bronson) Alcott, father of Louisa May. (One-time sitcom star Bronson Pinchot's full name is Bronson Alcott Pinchot.) A more muscular image comes via tough guy Charles Bronson.
Pronounced BRON-sun.
As of October 2026, Bronson ranked #1046 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #667 in 2015.
