The Dutch surname Broers can derive from several sources. Firstly, the name is traceable to the Dutch term 'broers' which denotes a brother. We can assume therefore that the name is of family origins, being an affectionate term used to indicate a brother.
Secondly, the name can also be of nickname origine, 'brother' being a term used for a close friend. Nicknames were common in medieval Europe; they were terms of endearment and affection and they were also functional so that bearers of the same personal name could be easily distinguished.
Thirdly, the surname Broers can derive from the Dutch word 'Brouwer' and the similar Middle High German term 'briuwer' which denotes a brewer. during the Middle Ages it was common practice to identify a person with the type of work he did and to refer to him in this manner. The manufacturer of alcoholic beer and the fermenting of wines was necessary in every village. Ale was 'the people's food in liquid form' and was consumed by everybody at all times. In early times each villager brewed his own drink, although he often had to pay the lord for the privilege. With the development of the trade, brewers were to become commonplace as they manufactured alcohol on a large scale and sold it on their premises. It is from this trade that the surname Broers has evolved.
