Bray Genealogy & History

Bray is distinguished and ancient, with multiple derivations depending on the country of origin. Twenty-one coats of arms attest to its distinguished family history in England, Scotland, and Ireland. The Anglo-Saxon origins are locational in Devonshire and Berkshire, derived from Old English "breg", meaning hill. The Scottish and Irish origins are also locational, the former referring to towns named "Brae" and the latter to towns "Bregia." Finally, Bray could also be a nickname for someone with noble deportment. The Bray family was granted lands in Northampton due to their bravery at the Battle of Hastings in 1066. Bray genealogy in America begins in 1622 in Virginia.
