Bronson

Bronson is a surname of English origin that has become familiar as both a family name and given name.

It gained cultural prominence through actors Charles Bronson, known for tough-guy roles in action films, and Tom Hardy's portrayal of British prisoner Charles Bronson.

The name carries connotations of rugged masculinity and toughness, likely reinforced by these associations.

The Bronsons moved in next door last month.
