The surname Brogan, or O'Brogan in its original form, has Irish origins. The prefix O' in Gaelic signifies descendant of or grandson of. Thus, O'Brogan can be interpreted as descendant of Brogan. The name Brogan itself is derived from the Old Gaelic word bróg, meaning shoe, with the diminutive án added, hence a possible translation of little shoe or young shoe. However, the root bróg might also imply a more figurative meaning related to a person's character or profession.

The O'Brogans are an ancient clan whose lineage is said to trace back to the 10th-century figure Brógán Mór, a relative of Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. The family originally hailed from the province of Leinster, particularly from the counties of Kildare and Offaly.

Over time, the prefix O' was frequently dropped due to English influence and the anglicization of Irish names, especially during and after the 17th century. As a result, the name became commonly known as Brogan.

Historically, the Brogans have been associated with the church and scholarly pursuits. They have also been tied to the arts and have played various roles in Irish society over the centuries.

Today, the Brogan surname is spread across Ireland and the Irish diaspora, with many bearing the name throughout the United States, Canada, Australia, and other countries where Irish immigrants have settled. Despite the spread and evolution of the name, the Brogan surname retains its connection to its ancient Gaelic roots and Irish heritage.
