Best Answer

The name Brodie is a modernized spelling of Brody, which is a Gaelic word meaning "ditch".

Brodie is a Scottish surname of uncertain meaning. Possible meanings include:

  • From the Scottish Gaelic brothaigh, which is derived from the Dutch word for "brother."
  • From the Gaelic word brothach, which means "muddy place."
  • From the Old Irish broth, which means "muddy ditch or mire."
  • Or from the Pict name Bridei, meaning unknown, but King Bridei was a medieval Scottish king.

In slang terms, a brodie is a suicidal/daredevil leap or intentionally putting a car into a sudden and severe skid. In this case, the term is derived from Steve Brodie, a man who claimed he had survived a leap off of the Brooklyn Bridge in 1886.
