Bradd is a unique and distinctive given name of American origin. It is an alternate spelling of Bradley, which itself derives from Old English elements "brad" meaning broad and "leah" denoting a clearing in the woods. This name gained popularity during the 20th century and has since become associated with several notable figures, including American actor Bradd Pitt (a variant spelling) who was born on December 18, 1963. The name Bradd is often chosen for its strong, masculine sound and its association with strength and broad-mindedness implied by its etymology. It is a name that stands out while still being familiar and approachable.
The name Bradd experienced significant fluctuations in popularity over the years, with notable peaks in 1956 (18 births), 1960 (22 births), and 1976 (27 births). However, it appears that this name lost favor over time, as there were only six births each in 2004 and 2009. Overall, there were a total of 653 babies named Bradd from 1947 to 2009.
