Brok is English in Origin.

Brok is a modern respelling of Brock, ultimately from the Old English brocc and Irish/Scottish Gaelic broc, both meaning “badger.” As a surname it also overlaps with Dutch and Low German toponymic forms from broek “marsh, fen,” and with Polish Brok, a town-derived surname. The Norse word brók “trousers” (as in the epithet Loðbrók) is etymologically distinct but sometimes cited in folk explanations. Variants and close relatives include Brock (standard), Broc, and Brocke; the Irish form Broc appears in medieval records.

Used as a surname in medieval England, Brock moved into given-name use in the 19th century and rose with the late‑20th‑century surname trend. The Brok spelling emerged in North America and southern Africa as a stripped‑down, modern look; it remains rare but familiar thanks to the visibility of Brock and bearers like South African rugby player Brok Harris. It suggests the badger’s tenacity and a marsh‑place sense of steadiness.
