The surname Corry, or O'Corry, has its origins in Ireland and is derived from the Gaelic name O Comhraidhe, which means descendant of Comhraidhe. The name was most commonly found in County Fermanagh in Ulster, but also had strong ties to County Leitrim and County Donegal.
The O'Corry clan was a prominent family in medieval Ireland and held significant power and influence in the region. They were known for their involvement in politics and were often associated with the ruling Gaelic nobility. The O'Corrys were also known for their scholarly pursuits and were often found in positions of learning and education.
During the 17th century, many Irish surnames underwent anglicization as a result of English rule in Ireland. The O'Corry surname was no exception, and many individuals dropped the O' prefix from their name, becoming known simply as Corry. This name change was often a way for Irish families to assimilate to English culture and avoid discrimination.
Today, the surname Corry is still found primarily in Ireland and the United Kingdom, with a smaller presence in other English-speaking countries such as the United States, Canada, and Australia. The name continues to carry a strong sense of Irish heritage and history.
