Origin, Meaning, And History of Brodee
The name Brodee is an Irish surname that initially appeared in Gaelic as Mac Bradaigh. The name may have been derived from ‘bradach’, which means ‘spirited,’ which, in turn, could be obtained from the word ‘brad’ which means ‘urging.’ The name was first recorded in Galway in the province of Connacht and County Clare, where the family held a high position during ancient times.
People who shared the surname Brodee descended from the King of Munster, Olioll Olum, who was, in turn, a descendant of a line of Chiefs and Kings to John O’Grady. During the 14th and 15th centuries, there was great confusion related to Brodee because the bearers of the name kept shifting from one spelling to another.
The surname, which was common in Ireland, came to North America during the 19th century when the Irish people suffered under the foreign imperialistic rule. Although people had migrated in search of lands earlier too, the largest number of migrations occurred during this time.
Brodee is also a variant of the Irish given name Brady, which means ‘descendant of Bradach.’ The Irish names were recorded by the scribes and church officials according to how they were pronounced, which may be one of the reasons why there are a number of spelling variations. Some of these variations include Grady, O’Grady, Brady, O’Brady, Braidy, Graidy, Braidie, Bradie, Braydy, Braydie, Graidie, Gradie, Graydy, Graydie, Bradigan, and O’Bradigan.
