What is the meaning of the name Brock ?

The baby name Brock is a Male name , 1 syllables long and is pronounced UK: /brɒk/; US: /brɑk/.

Brock is English in Origin.

Brock is an English given name taken from a medieval surname. Its chief root is Old English brocc, "badger," itself likely from Celtic brocc; the word appears widely in Middle English as brok/brokke. In some lines the name also overlaps with surnames from Old English broc, "brook, stream," so Brock can signify either the animal or a water-side dwelling.

As a first name, Brock surfaces in late-19th-century records and rose sharply in the United States from the 1960s through the 1990s amid the boom in strong, monosyllabic surnames; usage remains steady in Canada and Australia, with a rugged, athletic image reinforced by sports figures. Variants include Broc and Brok; elaborations such as Brockton occur, and Gaelic Broc is cognate. While Brooke/Brook are related by the "stream" sense, they are not direct variants. Overall meaning: "badger" or "one who lives by a brook."
