Braxtin is a modern American given name derived from the English surname Braxton. That surname goes back to an Old English place-name built from the personal name Bracca and tun, meaning "farm, enclosure, settlement," giving the sense "Bracca's town/settlement." As a respelling with the -in ending, Braxtin preserves the sound of Braxton while echoing contemporary patterns seen in Paxtin/Jaxin-type forms. Pronounced BRAX-tin.

Usage is recent, gaining traction in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries alongside the broader trend of surnames and -x names moving into first-name territory. Braxtin remains rarer than Braxton and is used mostly for boys, though it can be unisex. Common variants and related forms include Braxton, Braxten, Braxtyn, Braxtan, and the short form Brax; feminine-leaning spellings such as Braxtyn or Braxtynn also appear. The name's meaning aligns with its surname root: "from Bracca's settlement" or "of Braxton."
