What is Tom Brady's middle name?

Tom Brady’s middle name is Edward, making his full name Thomas Edward Patrick Brady Jr. He was born on August 3, 1977, in San Mateo, California, and is the youngest child of Thomas Brady Sr. and Galynn Patricia Brady.

Brady’s name is sometimes shortened to “Tom Brady,” but the formal version includes both Edward and Patrick. “Tom Brady Jr.” is also commonly used because he shares his name with his father. The middle name Edward is part of his legal full name, while Patrick is another middle name that is occasionally omitted in sports coverage.

Brady became one of football’s most recognizable quarterbacks after the New England Patriots selected him in the sixth round of the 2000 NFL Draft. He spent 20 seasons with New England before finishing his career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

His name can be confused with those of other prominent athletes named Tom or Thomas, but the quarterback’s biographical records consistently identify him as Thomas Edward Patrick Brady Jr. The nickname “Tom Terrific” refers to his career reputation, not to his formal name.
