Origin & history of Broc1
Celtic / Old English roots
Broc is a spelling variant of Brock, from the Old English brocc meaning badger — originally an Anglo-Saxon nickname for someone with badger-like qualities (cunning, tenacity, or distinctive markings).

As an American given name, Broc has been used since the late twentieth century, peaking in 2004 alongside the broader American interest in short, strong single-syllable boys names.
