(Brochan, Broccan, Bracan, or Bearchan) (6th or 7th century) Bishop of Mothil, Waterford, Ireland. He is mentioned in the Irish Martyrologium of Aengus where he is described as Brocan the scribe. Modern hagiographers regard him as the secretary and possibly the nephew of Saint Patrick. Feast, July 8,.
A second saint mentioned in the Martyrologium, Saint Brogan Cloen, Abbot of Rosstuirc, is probably identical with the Abbot Brochanus, referred to in the Life of Saint Abban. He is said to have written the hymn in honor of Saint Brigid. Feast, September 17,.
Other saints of this name occur in the Martyrology of Gorman under January 1, April 9, June 27, August 1, and August 20,.
