The surname Cottrell has its roots in Ireland, and its history can be traced back to medieval times. The name is derived from the Gaelic word "Mac Oitir," which means "son of Oitir." In earlier times, surnames were often derived from the name of the father, and the prefix "Mac" indicated "son of" in Gaelic.
The Cottrell family was originally associated with County Kildare in Ireland. They were known as a prominent Gaelic clan, and their history can be traced back to the 13th century. The family held significant lands and positions of influence in the region.
During the Norman invasion of Ireland in the 12th century, many Gaelic clans were displaced and their lands were taken over by the Normans. The Cottrell family managed to retain their lands in Kildare, and they continued to maintain their prominence throughout the centuries.
Over time, some members of the Cottrell family migrated to other countries, including England, Scotland, and the United States, among others. As a result, the surname spread beyond Ireland.
Today, the surname Cottrell is found in various parts of the world, particularly in countries that have historical connections to Ireland. The name continues to be a testament to the rich history and heritage of the Cottrell family.
