Broomlie Origin and Meaning

The name Broomlie is a boy's name.

Broomlie is an extremely rare masculine name with likely Scottish or English origins. It appears to be a toponymic surname-turned-first-name, possibly derived from a place name combining 'broom' (the flowering shrub) and 'lee' or 'ley' (meaning a clearing or meadow). This descriptive name would have originally indicated someone living near a clearing where broom shrubs grew. As a first name, Broomlie has virtually no documented usage in modern records, making it one of the more unusual name choices. Its distinctive sound and natural imagery might appeal to parents seeking a truly unique name with British Isles connections. The name carries a rustic, natural quality with its botanical associations.
