The first is from Old English bracu; the second is by folk etymology from northern Middle English braken, -en being taken as a plural ending. After the words had fallen together, their senses also became confused.North German : habitational name from any of several places so named, notably the town on the Weser, or a topographic name from Middle Low German brÄk ‘clearing’, ‘coppice’.Wilhelm Joseph Dietrich, Baron von Brake, of Hannover (Germany), is said to have settled in Nansemond, VA, about 1730.

English : habitational name from a place in West Yorkshire, probably named in Old English as ‘enclosed wood’, from loc(a) ‘enclosure’ (see Lock) + wudu ‘wood’. It seems likely that all present-day bearers of the name descend from a single family which originated in this place. There is another place of the same name in Cleveland, first recorded in 1273 as Locwyt, from Old English loc(a) + Old Norse viðr ‘wood’, ‘brake’, but it is not clear whether it has given rise to a surname.
