Bradley is English in Origin.
Bradley is an English surname-turned-given name derived from Old English brād (“broad”) and lēah (“woodland clearing, meadow”). It originally denoted someone from any of several places called Bradley across England, thus carrying the toponymic sense “broad meadow/clearing.”
As a first name, Bradley came into use in the 19th century and rose sharply in the mid-20th century, especially in the United States, helped by the prominence of WWII General Omar Bradley. It peaked in popularity from the 1970s through the 1990s and remains familiar in the UK, Canada, and Australia. Common short form: Brad; other spellings include Bradly, Bradlee, and Bradleigh. The feminine or unisex Bradlee occurs occasionally. Notable bearers include actor Bradley Cooper and cyclist Sir Bradley Wiggins. The name’s meaning is usually rendered “broad meadow,” evoking openness and stability. While related in sound, Brady is a separate Irish surname/given name.
