Brodrig is Celtic in Origin.

Brodrig is a rare modern given name, most plausibly a streamlined variant of Broderick or a blend influenced by Roderick/Rodrigo. Through Roderick, it connects to Old Germanic elements hrod 'fame' and ric 'power, ruler', yielding the sense "famous ruler." Through Broderick, it touches the Welsh surname from ap Rhydderch ("son of Rhydderch"), with Rhydderch an ancient Brittonic name borne by early medieval rulers.

Documented usage of Brodrig is minimal and chiefly 21st-century, appearing in English-speaking countries as a creative, surname-style choice. Spelling variants include Brodric, Brodrik, and Brodrick; related forms are Broderick, Roderick, and Spanish/Portuguese Rodrigo. Short forms Brody, Rod, or Rig are natural. Overall meaning aligns with the Roderick family: "fame-power, famous ruler," with a contemporary twist and compact silhouette.
