As a first name, Brookes emerged following the trend of using surnames as given names, offering a distinguished and preppy quality. The additional 's' gives it a more distinctive feel than the more common 'Brook' or 'Brooks.' While not among the most popular names, Brookes has appeal for parents seeking something sophisticated with English heritage and a subtle connection to nature.
