Brodi

Boy / Girl name · 9 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Brodi: 9 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to both boys and girls, peaking at 3 births in 2005.

Brodi is a modern spelling variant of Brodie, a name that comes from the Scottish Gaelic *brothaigh*, meaning “ditch” or “muddy place” – originally a place-name for someone who lived near a ditch or a boggy area. One of its most famous bearers is Brodie Lee, the professional wrestler known for his time in AEW and WWE, while Brodie Croyle played quarterback in the NFL. The name also links directly to Brodie Castle in Moray, Scotland, a historic seat of the Brodie clan, and the surname itself has been used as a given name since the 20th century. This particular spelling, with a single “e,” is a streamlined favourite among modern Scottish parents, keeping the name’s rugged, earthy feel while offering a slight twist on the classic form.
