The surname Brocas has an interesting history, particularly in relation to Irish descent. It is believed to have originated from the French word "broque," meaning "troublesome" or "argumentative," which was used to describe someone with a contentious or quarrelsome nature. This suggests that early bearers of the surname may have been known for their confrontational personalities.
The Brocas family is said to have arrived in Ireland during the Norman invasion in the 12th century. They were originally from Brocas in Anjou, France, and were granted land in Ireland as a reward for their support in the conquest. Over time, they became influential landowners in various parts of the country, particularly in County Cork.
One notable figure in the Brocas lineage was Sir Bernard Burke Brocas, who was born in County Cork in the 17th century. He served as a Member of Parliament and was known for his involvement in local politics. His descendants continued to hold positions of prominence and influence in Ireland.
Today, individuals with the surname Brocas can be found around the world, including those of Irish descent. Many have carried on the family name and continue to preserve the history and heritage associated with the Brocas surname.
