Bradlie Origin and Meaning

The name Bradlie is a boy's name.

Bradlie is a masculine name that represents a modern spelling variation of Bradley. Originally an English surname derived from Old English elements 'brad' (broad) and 'leah' (clearing, meadow), meaning 'broad meadow' or 'wide clearing.' This contemporary spelling with the -ie ending adds a distinctive touch while maintaining the traditional pronunciation. Bradley became popular as a first name in the mid-20th century, with Bradlie emerging later as parents sought unique spelling alternatives. While less common than the traditional Bradley, Bradlie offers the same strong, reliable character with a slightly more distinctive presentation. The name conveys images of open natural spaces and carries associations with strength and breadth.
