Brodric Origin and Meaning

The name Brodric is a boy's name.

Brodric is a masculine name that appears to be a variant spelling of Broderick, which itself derives from Germanic and Old English origins. The original name comes from elements meaning "broad" and "power" or "ruler," suggesting someone who rules widely or has extensive influence. This alternative spelling gives the traditional name a more distinctive and contemporary appearance while maintaining its strong consonant sounds. Less common than Broderick, Brodric offers a streamlined version that retains the name's masculine strength. The name evokes images of medieval nobility and carries a certain gravitas. While relatively uncommon, it appeals to parents seeking a name with historical roots but a modern edge.
