Bravery

Meaning of Bravery

Bravery is a modern English virtue name taken from the noun meaning courage and boldness, equally suited for girls and boys. It embodies an Anglo-American preference for names that convey clear values, offering parents a straightforward choice that speaks of fearlessness without pretense. With its three-syllable pronunciation (BRAY-vuh-ree, /ˈbreɪvəri/) and balanced cadence, the name sits comfortably alongside both classic and contemporary popular picks. Though it remains relatively uncommon—hovering around the 900th rank in recent U.S. birth data—it carries a direct association with moral strength and resolute spirit. Of course, the name itself won’t guarantee fearless feats, but it does establish an admirable standard from the very first introduction.
