How to Say “Bradley” in Irish

By David Vincent • Updated October 4, 2026

Bradley

Bradley is the Irish form of the proper name Bradley.

Bradley is used as a proper name for a person.

Did you know?

While Bradley is used as a name in Ireland, it is an Anglicized version of the Gaelic surname Ó Brádai, which means 'descendant of Brádai'.
Because Bradley is a loan-name, it avoids the 'lenition' process, where the first consonant of a name often changes after certain words like 'my' or 'your'.
Because names like Bradley are now treated as 'loan-names', they do not follow the complex declension rules that traditional Irish nouns and names do.

Examples in context

Chonaic mé Bradley inné.
I saw Bradley yesterday.
An bhfuil Bradley anseo?
Is Bradley here?

Example conversation

Cian is asking Niamh about their friend.

Cian

An bhfuil Bradley sa teach?
Is Bradley in the house?
Niamh

Níl sé anseo anois.
He is not here now.
Cian

Cá bhfuil Bradley?
Where is Bradley?
Niamh

Tá sé sa siopa.
He is in the shop.
