Broder Family History
Broder Name Meaning
North German (mainly Bröder): from a personal name occasionally used for a younger son i.e. the brother (Middle Low German broder) of someone important or a byname for a guild member. Compare Broeder . Jewish (Ashkenazic): Yiddish variant of Brodsky . English: variant of Brother . Irish (Limerick): from Ó Bruadair a name of an ancient Donegal sept. Derivation from Irish bruadar ‘dream reverie’ has been suggested probably wrongly. It is more likely to be from an Irish form of the Old Norse personal name Bróthir. See Broderick .
