The surname Corcoran or McCorcoran is of Irish origin and has a rich history dating back centuries. It is an anglicized form of the Gaelic surname Mac Corcráin, which means son of Corcrán.
The Corcorans were an ancient sept (clan) of Ireland and were originally located in the region known as Ui Maine in County Galway. They were said to be descendants of a warrior named Corcrán who lived in the 10th century. The clan was known for their fierce loyalty and bravery in battle.
During the Norman invasion of Ireland in the 12th century, many Irish surnames were anglicized to align with English naming customs. As a result, the Mac Corcráin surname transformed into Corcoran or McCorcoran.
Over time, the Corcoran/McCorcoran family spread throughout Ireland and beyond, particularly during the era of Irish emigration in the 19th century. Many Corcorans left their homeland due to economic hardships and the Great Famine, seeking better opportunities in countries like the United States, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom.
Today, descendants of the Corcoran clan can be found worldwide, proudly carrying their Irish heritage and the name that represents their ancestral lineage.
