The association with the badger stems from the Middle English term "brok(ke)," which translates to "badger." This term has its roots in Old English as "brocc," indicating a long history of the name's connection to this animal.

Interestingly, the Danish word "brok" also shares a similar meaning, hinting at a Celtic origin for this aspect of the name. This is further supported by comparisons with Welsh "broch," Cornish "brogh," and Irish "broc," which all relate to the concept of a badger.
