Trae
A boys’ name with no widely documented etymology — two syllables, given to 47 babies a year in the US.
Trae by the numbers
In 2025, 4 babies in England and Wales were named Trae. In the US, 47 were, though that figure is from 2017, the most recent full year we hold.
For the size of the two countries, it is given noticeably more often in the US than in England and Wales.
Its American peak was 201 babies in 1993, so it is a 1990s name that has since fallen a long way.
What we can tell you about Trae
Not every name has a meaning to trace. Plenty are coined rather than inherited — invented outright, blended from two names, or respelled from an older one — and where we cannot find an etymology we can stand behind, we would rather say so than make one up. What follows comes from the birth records themselves.
