The surname Corbet has a rich history, particularly in Irish descent. It is believed to have originated from the Norman-French name "Corbet," which ultimately traces back to the Old Norse word "korpr," meaning "raven." The Corbet family can be traced back to the 11th century when Roger Corbet accompanied William the Conqueror during the Norman invasion of England.
Over time, the Corbet surname spread to Ireland, where many Corbet families established themselves. The Irish Corbets were primarily located in County Galway, County Mayo, and County Sligo. They were known as an influential and respected family, with several members holding prominent positions and participating in local governance.
However, during the English colonization of Ireland, many Corbet families faced significant challenges. They were subjected to land confiscations and faced discrimination due to their Irish heritage. Some Corbet families were forced to migrate to other parts of Ireland or even emigrate to other countries in search of a better life. This migration resulted in Corbet families settling in various parts of the world, including the United States, Canada, and Australia.
Today, the Corbet surname is still present in Ireland, and many individuals proudly carry on the legacy of their ancestors. The Corbet name serves as a reminder of the resilience and determination of the Irish people throughout history.
