Bragg is a surname, most notably associated with Confederate General Braxton Bragg, after whom Fort Bragg in North Carolina was named (since renamed Fort Liberty).
William Lawrence Bragg and his father William Henry Bragg shared the Nobel Prize in Physics for their work on X-ray crystallography—Bragg's law describes the angles at which X-rays diffract through crystals. (Lowercase bragg is an archaic or dialectal spelling of brag.)
