The origin of the name Braintree is obscure. One theory is that Braintree was originally Branoc’s tree, Branoc apparently being an ancient name. Another theory is that the name is derived from that of Rayne, which was actually the more important settlement in Norman times. Braintree, Essex was also called Brantry and Branchetreu[citation needed] in the Domesday Book and this means “town by the river”.[citation needed] The River Brain is another possible origin. “Tree” comes from the Saxon suffix, more commonly spelled “try”, denoting a big village. In many early American Colonial documents, it is referred to as Branktry.
