A Welsh name gently fading from the charts.
A surname from Welsh.
Broderick is a boy's baby name of Welsh origin, from the patronymic surname ab Roderick, meaning 'son of Roderick,' where Roderick derives from the Germanic Hroderich meaning 'famous ruler.' It carries a dignified, scholarly gravitas — associated with actor Matthew Broderick.
Broderick was #985 twenty years ago and has since drifted to #2391, but its charm endures.
