brolic

Etymology

While it's commonly believed that the name originated from Broly from the Dragon Ball anime franchise, (whose name is a transliteration of the Japanese ブロリー (Burorī), itself coined as a pun on the English broccoli, a theme used in the naming of members of the fictional Saiyan alien species (e.g. Vegeta, from vegetable)) - its usage actually predates Dragon Ball's popularity in the United States, likely existing in New York City at least before 1996.
