Brodie

Brodie is a gender-neutral title that can be used as a first or last name. You might be most familiar with Brodie’s variant spelling, Brody, though both monikers have the same cool-kid vibe. If its status as a first and last name wasn’t enough, Brodie may also have been a habitational title for those who came from the area near Brodie Castle in Moray, Scotland. Evoking images of the Scottish countryside’s rugged terrain, Brodie means “ditch,” “mire,” “muddy place,” or “steep place” in Scottish Gaelic. Even if little Brodie’s journey brings them through some high hills and marshy paths, they’ll have the confidence to keep on climbing!
