Brochan Origin and Meaning

The name Brochan is a boy's name meaning "porridge".

Although it has several meanings in modern Celtic languages, the personal name Brochan is thought to derive from the name Brychan, meaning "speckled". It would make an interesting variation on the somewhat dated Brock.

The river Brochan is in mid-Wales, and Brochan Evans is a Welsh child actor.
