Bradie is a name that has quietly existed on the periphery of American naming trends for over a century. First recorded in 1918, it saw its peak popularity in 2008. The name has a steady trajectory, neither surging nor plunging in use. In 2025, Bradie ranked 6546 with a frequency of about 1 in 94,545 births. Texas is a notable state for the name.

Its short, friendly sound works well for both boys and girls, though it remains more common for boys.
Bradie is believed to be a modern invented name, possibly derived from the English surname Bradie or as a variant of Brad, a short form of Bradley (meaning 'broad clearing'), or Brody (meaning 'ditch' or 'muddy place' in Scottish). The name emerged in the United States around the early 20th century, with recorded use starting in 1918. It has remained in sporadic use, with a modest peak in the 2000s.
