I'm pretty sure this surname is an anglicization of an Irish surname.

Brogie is an Americanization of the Irish name Broggy. Maybe you can get beyond that with the information at tinyurl.com/y6p38gtu

Apparently, it's related to Brogan, which was an occupational name for a shoemaker.

The Irish name Brogan is from Ó Brógáin which is derived from bróg 'sorrowful'. It has nothing whatsoever to do with shoes and no source relates it to Brogie.

I agree with Lepic on the meaning of Brogan. Some information on the location of the surname Broggy and variant Brogie can be found here -

It a appears to be a very rare name. Edward MacLyaght's "surnames of Ireland" does not list it. Patrick Woulfe gives only an Irish language version of the name, Ó Brogaidh, with no further details.
