Brookey is English in Origin.

Brookey is a modern, affectionate diminutive of Brooke/Brook, rooted in the Middle English and Old English bróc, meaning “stream” or “small river.” Emerging from the English surname that marked someone who lived near a brook, the base name entered given-name use in the 19th century and rose sharply for girls in the late 20th century, especially in North America, the UK, and Australasia. Brookey, pronounced BROO-kee, remains rare as an official first name but is heard as a nickname and sometimes appears on birth certificates among parents drawn to nature-leaning choices.

Variants and related forms include Brooke, Brook, Brookie/Brooky, Brooks (more often masculine), and elaborations such as Brooklyn, Brooklynn, and Brookelyn. The meaning across the set is consistent - “little stream” - and the -ey ending in Brookey underscores a playful, endearing tone. While technically unisex via its surname roots, usage today skews feminine.
