All around the world, Branch (Branch , 布兰奇, Бренч ) is a rare predominantly masculine, but very infrequently female forename. The first name Branch is habitual in Ethiopia, where it is a rare male name, the United States, where it is a very rare predominantly boy's, but very infrequently girly name, and Nigeria, where it is a very rare gender-neutral name. Not in comparison with a country's population, this name is the most popular in Ethiopia, the United States, and China. More frequently, Branch is the last name as well as the forename.
Branch is also a name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Blanche DuBois , the fictional character in Tennessee Williams' A Streetcar Named Desire; Blanche DuBois , the operatic character in the opera A Streetcar Named Desire; Blanche Devereaux , the fictional character from "The Golden Girls" and Blanche Hunt , the Corrie character, Coronation Street.
