The surname Cornish, of Irish descent, has an interesting history that dates back to ancient times.
The name originated in Ireland as Ó Corraan or Mac Corraan, which means "descendant of Corrán." Corrán was a personal name derived from the Irish word "corra" or "curra," meaning "spear." The Mac Corraans were a prominent sept or clan in County Clare, Ireland.
During the 16th and 17th centuries, Ireland experienced significant political and social upheaval due to English colonization, known as the Plantations of Ireland. This led to the migration of many Irish families, including those with the surname Cornish, to other parts of the world, particularly to England and the United States.
The Cornish surname, in an Irish context, is most commonly found in County Clare and its surrounding areas. However, it is also found in other parts of Ireland, such as Galway and Limerick. Over time, some individuals with the surname Cornish may have anglicized their name or adopted variations of it, depending on their specific circumstances.
Today, many people with Irish heritage and the surname Cornish can be found in various countries, particularly in the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, and Australia. They proudly carry on the legacy of their Irish ancestors and contribute to the diverse tapestry of their respective societies.
