“Derived from Scottish-Irish heritage, Brody originally comes from a place-name meaning 'ditch' or 'watercourse' in Gaelic. The name exploded in popularity in the 1990s-2000s as part of the Celtic-influenced naming trend, offering Irish charm with a modern, casual appeal that feels both strong and friendly.”
