Brauley is a modern given name most commonly traced to surname roots. It likely represents a creative respelling of Brawley/Braley, surnames with two principal sources: Irish Ó Brolaigh (often Anglicized Brolly/Brawley), from a personal name of uncertain meaning; and English habitational forms ending in -ley, from Old English leah "woodland clearing, meadow." Some also connect it to Scots braw "fine, handsome," influencing the Brawley spelling. In contemporary naming, the -ley ending reinforces the sense of "meadow/clearing."

As a first name, Brauley is rare and largely American, fitting the modern trend of Bra- names and -ley endings. It functions as unisex, though more often masculine in surname form. Variants and near-relations include Brawley, Braley, Brailey, Brayley, Brailee, Braely, Braulee, Brauleigh, and Bradley as a cognate by sound. Short forms might be Brau, Bray, or Lee.
