History & Etymology
Broome originated as an English surname, derived from the Old English word 'brom' meaning 'broom' (a type of shrub). It was typically a topographical surname, given to someone who lived near a broom patch or a place characterized by broom plants. Over time, like many surnames, it began to be used as a given name, though it remains much rarer as a first name than as a surname. Its usage as a given name is more common in English-speaking countries.
