ORIGIN AND HISTORY

From an Irish surname which was derived from Ó Brádaigh meaning "descendent of Brádach". The personal name Brádach probably derives from a Gaelic word meaning "large-chested."^[1]

However, it could be derived from an English surname (originally Bradig) meaning “From the Broad Island” from “brad” (broad) and “eg” (island)or it could be from an English surname meaning “Broad Eyes,” from “brad” (broad) and “eage” (eye). ^[1]
