What does Brody mean?
/bɹoʊdi/2 syllablesOrigin: a surname

Brody started out as a Scottish and Irish surname, most likely tied to a place name derived from Gaelic words referring to a ditch or muddy patch of ground. Over the twentieth century it crossed over into use as a given name.

Brody has a friendly, athletic energy that suits an active, outdoorsy companion — a dog who's happiest muddy and out of breath after a run. It's a name that sounds like it belongs on a trail.
