The surname Corey, of Irish descent, has a fascinating history that can be traced back centuries. The name itself is believed to have originated in County Mayo, Ireland.
The etymology of the name can be traced to the Irish Gaelic name "Ó Comhraidhe," which means "descendant of Comhraidhe." Comhraidhe is a personal name that translates to "helpful" or "peaceful." The prefix "Ó" signifies "descendant of," indicating a familial connection.
Over time, the name evolved and underwent various phonetic changes. It eventually transitioned from Ó Comhraidhe to Mac Comhraidhe, meaning "son of Comhraidhe." This change occurred as the prefix "Mac" became more commonly used to denote "son of" in Irish surnames.
As Irish immigrants dispersed across the globe during the 18th and 19th centuries, many individuals with the surname Corey settled in other countries, particularly in the United States. They brought their Irish heritage and the name Corey with them, contributing to the spread and presence of the surname outside of Ireland.
Today, the surname Corey is still found in various parts of the world, and individuals with Irish ancestry proudly carry on the legacy of their forebears. The name serves as a reminder of their rich heritage and the enduring influence of Irish culture.
