One possibility is that it is a variant of "Brosio," a name that may derive from the Latin word "brosus," meaning "rough" or "bristly." Alternatively, "Broschi" could be a toponymic surname, indicating that its original bearers hailed from a place named Broschi or a similar-sounding location in Italy. Such place names often have roots in geographical features or historical events.

The surname appears to be concentrated in certain regions of Italy, though its distribution has shifted over time due to migration. Like many surnames, "Broschi" has been carried to various countries by individuals and families emigrating from Italy. As a result, people with the surname Broschi can now be found in many parts of the world, including the Americas and other European nations.

Historical records mentioning the surname are scattered, and its prominence in any particular historical event or field of achievement is not widely documented. Information about notable individuals named Broschi is limited and does not point to a single prominent historical figure associated with the name.
