Bromlie is a modern given name derived from the English surname and place-name Bromley. Its roots lie in Old English brom, meaning "broom" or "gorse," and leah, "wood, meadow, or clearing," yielding the sense "clearing where broom grows." As a family name tied to several English locales (including the London borough of Bromley), it has been documented since medieval records; use as a first name emerged much later, reflecting the broader fashion for adopting habitational surnames as given names. Bromlie is rare and used for all genders.

Variant spellings and related forms include Bromley, Bromly, Bromleigh, Bromlee, and Bromlea; -leigh endings emphasize the place-name heritage. Possible short forms are Brom or Lee. The name’s meaning gives it a quiet, nature-evoking character, while its surname origin lends a tailored, British sensibility. Those seeking a familiar-sounding yet uncommon alternative to Bradley or Brinley may find Bromlie appealing.
