Broderick Family Crest
The Irish surname Broderick is an anglicized form of the Gaelic name Ó Bruadair meaning “descendant of Bruadar,” a Viking personal name. There are two distinct branches of Broderick’s in Ireland. One was located in County Cork, in the barony of Barrymore, to which the poet David O' Bruadair belonged. It was presumably a branch of this sept which settled as a Munster family in Iiverk (Ossory) in Ireland, where they were well established in the 17th Century. In county Limerick, where the name is now quite numerous, they are registered as Brouder and Broderick in about equal numbers. The other sept belonged to County Galway, the most famous of whom was Fr. Anthony O' Bruadair, the martyr.
