Brodey Origin and Meaning

The name Brodey is a boy's name.

Brodey is a masculine name representing a modern spelling variant of Brody. With Irish and Gaelic origins, it derives from the surname Ó Bruadair, meaning 'descendant of the dreamer,' or from place names meaning 'ditch' or 'muddy place.' This contemporary spelling emerged in popularity during the early 2000s, part of the trend toward creative variants of traditional names. Brodey offers a friendly, approachable quality while maintaining masculine energy. The 'ey' ending gives it a more casual, playful feel than the traditional spelling. While less common than Brody, Brodey appeals to parents seeking names with Irish heritage but with a modern twist, fitting well with other popular boy names featuring the long 'e' ending sound.
