The surname Quirke or O'Quirke is of Irish origin and is derived from the Gaelic name "Ó Cuirc", meaning "descendant of Corc". The name Corc itself was a personal name meaning "charioteer" or "warrior". The Quirke or O'Quirke family is believed to be descended from Corc, who was a king of Munster in ancient Ireland. The O'Quirkes were originally an important sept or clan in County Tipperary, Ireland. They were part of the larger Eóganacht Raithlind tribe, which had a strong presence in the Munster region. The O'Quirkes held a hereditary office as physicians to the O'Kennedy family, who were the rulers of Ormond. During the period of English colonization and the Plantation of Ireland in the 16th and 17th centuries, the O'Quirkes, like many other Irish families, faced significant challenges. The English authorities sought to suppress Irish culture and language, and many O'Quirkes anglicized their surname to Quirke during this time. As a result, both the surnames Quirke and O'Quirke can be found today. Today, the surname Quirke or O'Quirke is most commonly found in County Tipperary and surrounding areas in Ireland. Descendants of the O'Quirke family can also be found in other parts of Ireland and around the world, particularly in countries with significant Irish diaspora communities, such as the United States, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom.
