Bray is Cornish, English, Old French in Origin.
Bray is chiefly a transferred English surname with a Norman French place-name base. Its clearest early form is Old French Brai, also Latinized as Braium, in medieval records of places such as the Pays de Bray in Normandy. The element is usually linked to Old French brai, mud or marshy ground, ultimately from Gaulish *bracu. In southwestern Britain, some Bray surnames may reflect Cornish bre, hill.
The surname was established in England by the high Middle Ages, aided by Norman settlement and by native place-names in Berkshire, Devon, and Cornwall. Migration records place Bray families in Virginia from 1622, later in Newfoundland, Australia, New Zealand, and the West Indies. Spellings such as Brai, Braye, and Brae occur in surname or toponymic contexts. As a first name it is recent and uncommon, used mainly for boys in the United States.
