Broddy Origin and Meaning

The name Broddy is a boy's name.

Broddy is a charming masculine name that appears to be a modern variation of Brody or Brady. The name has Scottish and Irish roots, with Brody originally being an anglicized form of several Gaelic surnames meaning 'ditch' or 'muddy place,' while Brady derives from the Irish 'Ó Brádaigh' meaning 'spirited' or 'broad-chested.' The distinctive double-d spelling gives Broddy a playful, contemporary edge while maintaining connections to its traditional counterparts. While not among the most common names, its similarity to the more popular Brody has helped it gain some recognition. Broddy conveys a friendly, approachable quality with youthful energy, making it appealing to parents seeking a name that sounds both familiar and slightly unique.
