The surname Brosnan, or O'Brosnan, has its origins in Ireland and is an anglicized form of the Gaelic name Ó Brosnacháin. The name is derived from the word brosnach, which means a source of contention. The O'Brosnan family is part of the ancient Dalcassian clans of County Kerry in southwest Ireland.
The O'Brosnan family was originally located in the barony of Trughanacmy, near Tralee, and were associated with the MacCarthys, who were the ruling family of the region. The O'Brosnans were renowned for their skill in warfare and were often employed by the MacCarthys as soldiers and bodyguards.
The surname Brosnan is believed to have originated from the Gaelic personal name Brosnach, which was a nickname meaning contentious or quarrelsome. As a result, it is likely that the O'Brosnan family were known for their fierce and combative nature.
The O'Brosnan family played a prominent role in the history of County Kerry and were influential in local politics and affairs. Over time, many members of the O'Brosnan family emigrated to other countries, particularly the United States, where the surname Brosnan became more widely known.
Today, the surname Brosnan is still most commonly associated with individuals of Irish descent, particularly those with roots in County Kerry.
