Broc

US Popularity Rank: 25693

Origin: British

Meaning: Badger-like

Broc is a respelling of the English name Brock, which is rooted in Middle and Old English. This classic boy's name is blessed with the curious meaning, "badger-like," as in the short-legged little omnivore native to Europe and North America. Choosing a name that means "badger" may seem like a misstep, but take a moment to appreciate this black-and-white-striped creature hidden talents. For example, the honey badger is famously brave and won't shy away from any predators it encounters! Who needs a lion's roar and an elephant's stomp when you've got the determined and headstrong badger?
