What the word means
Updated for Brotato 1.2.0.1 · checked 2026-11-05
Wiktionary treats brotato as a blend of bro and potato, a casual name for a man, the same job as bro. It also records brotato chip as a derived joke. Urban Dictionary has a 2006 entry in the same direction, years before the game's 2022 early access.
The game’s store description identifies its protagonist as a potato wielding weapons. The dictionary describes an older slang word. A developer statement connecting the title to that slang is not available in the sources listed here.

FAQ
Is brotato an insult?
The dictionary entries I read use it as a casual stand-in for bro. Tone depends on the speaker. The game is a separate thing.
Did the developer name it after the slang?
I have not found a quote that says so. I am not going to write one.
