The surname Cock, of Irish descent, has an interesting history. The name is derived from the Old English word "cocc," which originally referred to a male bird. Over time, it came to be used as a nickname for someone with characteristics associated with a rooster, such as bravery or assertiveness. In Ireland, the Cock surname is predominantly found in the province of Ulster, particularly in counties Antrim and Down.
During the medieval period, many English families settled in Ireland, bringing their surnames with them. The Cock surname likely originated in England and was later adopted by Irish families. It is worth noting that the spelling of surnames often varied greatly during this time, with Cock being spelled in different ways such as Cox or Coxe.
The Cock surname has also been anglicized from various Irish surnames, such as Mac Con Coille, which means "son of the hound of the wood." This Irish association adds another layer of complexity to the surname's history.
In modern times, the Cock surname is not as common as it once was, but it still exists within Irish communities both in Ireland and abroad. Many individuals with the Cock surname can still trace their ancestry back to Ulster, where their ancestors settled and established their family lineages.
Overall, the Cock surname of Irish descent has a rich and diverse history that spans centuries and reflects the complex cultural and historical interactions between England and Ireland.
