Around the globe, Broad (Bradi , Broad , Braut ) is quite a rare dominantly masculine, but infrequently feminine first name. The first name Broad is characteristic of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where it is a rare boy's name, India, where it is a rare principally boy's, but very seldom feminine name, and Morocco, where it is a rare male name. Not in comparison with a country's population, it most frequently occurs in India, the United States, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. More prevalently, Broad is the last name as well as the forename.
Broad is also a name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Braut , the operatic character in the opera Il Sant’Alessio, Il Sant'Alessio.
