Corrogan is Gaelic, Irish in Origin.

Corrogan is a modern respelling of the Irish surname Corrigan, an Anglicization of the Gaelic Ó Corragáin (“descendant of Corragán”). The personal name Corragán derives from corr, a word meaning “spear, point,” and also the heron/crane in poetic usage; the diminutive -án yields senses such as “little spear/pointed one” or “little heron.” As a given name, Corrogan inherits that imagery of sharpness, agility, and the sleek waterbird.

As a surname, Corrigan is long recorded in Ulster and Connacht and appears in medieval annals; in the English-speaking world it has more recently joined the surname-to-first-name trend. Corrogan functions as a contemporary, unisex twist on the core surname, most common in North America. Related spellings and variants include Corrigan, Corragan, Corigan, Currigan, and Carrigan; the Irish form is Ó Corragáin. Short forms such as Corrie or Cory sometimes arise in everyday use.
