Brodderick is an uncommon, unique name of Irish origin. It's derived from the Old Norse elements 'bróðir' meaning brother and 'drekka' meaning to drink, suggesting it may have been given as a nickname or byname to someone known for being a convivial companion or perhaps an innkeeper. The name Brodderick was brought to Ireland by Viking settlers who invaded and settled there from the late 8th to mid-12th century. Today, it's still quite rare, making those who bear it stand out in their own way.
The name Brodderick saw a gap of six years between its peak years with five births each time, in 1989 and 1995. Overall, there were ten children born with this name over these two periods.
