The surname Brocas or Brokkas has a rich history, particularly among families of Irish descent. The name itself is of Norman origin and is believed to have been brought to Ireland by the Anglo-Normans who arrived in the 12th century. The original Norman form of the name was "de Broc," meaning "of the brook" in Old French. Over time, the name evolved and various spellings emerged, including Brocas and Brokkas. One prominent figure associated with the Brocas name is John de Brocas, who was granted lands in County Meath, Ireland, by King Henry II of England. The Brocas family later settled in County Cork and became influential members of the local community. They were known for their involvement in politics, land ownership, and military service. The surname Brocas also gained prominence in other parts of Ireland, particularly in Ulster and Connacht. Many families with the name Brocas settled in these regions and became part of the Gaelic Irish population. Over time, the name may have undergone further changes in spelling and pronunciation due to the influence of the Irish language. Today, individuals with the surname Brocas or Brokkas, of Irish descent, can be found in various parts of the world, particularly in Ireland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. They continue to carry on the legacy of their ancestors and contribute to the diverse tapestry of Irish heritage.
