Bradly
Bradly Origin and Meaning
Bradly is a masculine name that originated as a variant of Bradley, derived from an English surname meaning "broad clearing" or "broad meadow" in Old English. This simplified spelling omits the second 'e' found in the more common Bradley. Bradly gained modest popularity in the United States during the 1970s and 1980s but has remained less common than its traditional counterpart. The name conveys qualities of strength and reliability, often associated with a down-to-earth personality. Though never reaching the top tier of popular names, Bradly appeals to parents seeking a slightly distinctive twist on a familiar classic while maintaining clear pronunciation and recognition.
