Brocks town or badgers settlement
Braxston is a modern spelling variant of Braxton, which originated as an English surname. It is derived from an Old English place name meaning 'settlement of Bracc' or 'town of the badger'. The addition of the 's' in this spelling creates a more phonetic, multi-consonant look popular in contemporary American naming trends.
