The surname Brough has its origins in Ireland, and it can be traced back to the ancient Gaelic name "O'Brughaidh". The prefix "O" signifies "descendant of", while "Brughaidh" is believed to mean "hospitable" or "of the fort". The name was commonly found in County Fermanagh and County Leitrim.
During the 17th century, many Irish families were forced to flee their homeland due to political and religious conflicts. This resulted in a significant diaspora, with Irish immigrants settling in various parts of the world, including the United States, Canada, and Australia.
Over time, the spelling and pronunciation of surnames often changed as families adapted to their new environments. The name Brough, as it is commonly spelled today, may have been altered from its original Gaelic form to better suit the language and customs of the country in which it was adopted.
It is worth noting that variations of the surname Brough can be found in other countries as well. For instance, in England, Brough is a locational surname derived from places called Brough, which means "fort" or "stronghold". However, when referring to its Irish origin, Brough is often associated with the Gaelic name O'Brughaidh.
