No. While the origin and meaning of the Irish surname Brogan remain uncertain, it originally showed up in the Gaelic language as O'Brogan.

'Twas first found in and amongst the counties of Sligo and Mayo in the northern area of Connacht, where they were part of the ancient Ui Fiachrach since before recorded history.

Descended from a chieftan of the northern branch, O'Brogain, whose name carries the meaning of "decendant of the young sorrowful one", they also claim descendancy through the Heremon line of Irish Kings.

There also remains the possibility that the IrishSaint Brogan (6th or 7th century) was nephew to Saint Patrick, although some people believe that there was more than one Saint Brogan.
