Branch

Branch is an unusual yet evocative name of English origin, meaning 'limb of a tree'. It brings with it a strong connection to nature, ideal for parents who love the outdoors or want a name that's a little off the beaten path. As a first name, Branch is rare, often chosen for its uniqueness and the sense of ruggedness and independence it conveys. Outside of its literal meaning, Branch does not have many historical associations, making it a blank slate for your child's own story. It's straightforward and doesn't lend itself much to nicknames, which might be exactly what some parents are looking for.
