Brogger Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

Browker: he who transacted business between ourselves and the Dutch in the shipping off of wool, and the introduction of cloth from Flemish manufacturers. James I. speaks of the broker as one who went “betweene Merchant Englishe and Merchant Strangers, and Tradesmen in the contrivinge, makinge and concluding Bargaines and Contractes to be made betweene them concerning their wares and merchandises.” They seem not to have borne a high character, for in “King John” the Bastard speaks of the shifty conscience: “That sly devil, That broker that still breaks the pale of faith.”
