Brogan or O'Brogan, is a surname originating in Ireland, anglicized from the original Ó Brógáin. The form McBrogan, is also present sharing the meaning of O'Brogan, essentially "son of Brogan."
The name is an anglicized form of Irish Ó Brógáin (“descendants of Brógán”), probably from a diminutive of bróg (“shoe”), which is ultimately from Old Norse brók (“breeches”).[1]
The name has also been traced back to ancient King Breogán[citation needed], and Saint Brogan (Broccán Clóen)[citation needed], Saint Patrick's nephew and scribe, and has many original meanings, including sorrowful, sharp-faced, sturdy and strong.
Traditionally, Brogan has also been used as a first name for boys, after the Saint.
