The surname Brough has a rich history, particularly among individuals of Irish descent. It is derived from the Gaelic word "bruth," which means "a steep or rugged place."
The Broughs were likely a sept of the larger Irish clan Mac Bradaigh or Mac Brannáin. This clan was prominent in County Donegal and County Tyrone in Northern Ireland. They were known for their fierce loyalty and bravery in battle.
Over time, some members of the Mac Bradaigh clan anglicized their surname to Brough when English became more prevalent in Ireland. This was a common occurrence during the 16th and 17th centuries when English influence was growing in the country.
Many individuals with the surname Brough migrated from Ireland to other parts of the world, including the United States, Canada, and Australia, during periods of Irish emigration. They brought their Irish heritage and culture with them, contributing to the diverse populations of these countries. Today, there are Brough families scattered across the globe, proudly carrying on their Irish roots and ancestral traditions.
