The surname Brophy, sometimes spelled O'Brophy, is of Irish origin and is derived from the Gaelic name Ó Bróithe, with Ó meaning descendant of and Bróithe being the name of the ancestor. The Brophy clan's lineage is generally linked to the ancient Gaelic sept that was primarily located in the province of Leinster, especially in the counties of Kilkenny and Laois.

The name is believed to have originated with a 10th-century chieftain named Broitheach, who was a celebrated Ulster hero and a contemporary of the famous King Brian Boru. The Brophys, as descendants of Broitheach, held considerable influence and were respected as a noble family with their chief known as Lord of Brawney, in what is now County Laois. Over time, the Brophys would have settled in various parts of Ireland, with a strong concentration still found in their original homeland.

The anglicization of Irish surnames occurred extensively during the English administration of Ireland, particularly after the 16th and 17th centuries, when English became the dominant language. This led to the transformation of Ó Bróithe to the more phonetically English Brophy. Despite the anglicization, many with the surname Brophy proudly retain their historical and cultural heritage, tracing their roots back to the ancient Irish sept of Leinster.
