According to the [[British Raj]] commentators, the name 'Brogpa' was given by the [[Balti people|Baltis]] to the [[Dardic people]] living among them. The term means "highlander". The reason for this is that the Brogpa tended to occupy the higher pasture lands in the valleys.{{sfnp|Gazetteer of Kashmir and Ladak|1890|p=238}}{{dead link|date=December 2022}} [[Frederic Drew]] states, "Wherever the Dards are in contact with Baltis or with Bhots, these others call them (...) ''Brokpa'' or ''Blokpa''."{{sfnp|Drew, The Jummoo and Kashmir Territories|1875|p=433}} As the Tibetan languae pronounciation varies by region, the same name is pronounced by [[Ladakhis]] as '''Drokpa''' or '''Dokpa'''.{{efn|Many pastoral groups on the Tibetan plateau and the surrounding Himalayan regions have been given the name Brogpa/Drokpa. They are not necessarily related to each other.}}
 
Over time, the term "Brokpa" fell out of use in [[Baltistan]] and the [[Drass, Ladakh|Drass]] area, in favour of ethnic labels such as "Dards" and "Shins".{{sfnp|Radloff, The Dialects of Shina|1992|loc=note 8}} Only the Brokpa of the lower Indus valley in Ladakh (the [[Dah, Ladakh|Dah]]–[[Hanu, Ladakh|Hanu]] region) continue to retain the name, and their language is called [[Brokskat]].<ref name="Ethnologue 2005">{{citation |title=Ethnologue, 15th Edition |publisher=SIL International |year=2005 |url=https://archive.org/details/ethnologuelangua0000unse_g7e1 |via=archive.org |url-access=registration}}</ref> They also use the endonym "Minaro", which means "pure".<ref>
