Looking for the origin of a certain name is a common question here. And it's fine if that is all someone wants. But it does not tell you anything for certain. Here are a couple of links to surname message boards if you are interested. They do have a specific board for Brothers. Many who frequent these boards are genealogists and may have some more insight into your specific surname. There are also separate boards for states, counties, and countries if you are interested.

There also is a line from the Netherlands whose original Dutch surname was Broers. Their name was also "Americanized" to the actual English meaning of brothers.
