Bra is from the Japanese manga — modern formation in Akira Toriyama's Briefs-family naming convention. A modern American baby name in the broader Japanese anime heritage aesthetic. Bra (also Bulla) is a character in Dragon Ball Super (2015-present) and Dragon Ball GT (1996-1997) by Akira Toriyama (1955-2024). The Dragon Ball manga has sold over 350 million copies worldwide. Bra is the daughter of Bulma and Vegeta, younger sister of Trunks, and the only female half-Saiyan princess of the Saiyan royal lineage. Her turquoise hair (from Bulma) and Saiyan pride (from Vegeta) make her a foundational mixed-heritage anime character.
Featured throughout Japanese anime.
Bra does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.

In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Bra reduce to 3, The Communicator. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
