The surname Cosker or McCosker is of Irish descent and has a long and fascinating history. It is believed to have originated from the Gaelic name "Mac Oisdealbhaigh," which means "son of Oisdealbh." This Gaelic name is a combination of two words- "ois" meaning "deer" and "dealbh" meaning "image," which could have been used to describe a person who was skilled in hunting deer.
The earliest known record of the surname in Ireland dates back to the 14th century, where it was found in the Annals of Ulster. It was also recorded in County Sligo in the 17th century, where a branch of the family settled and became prominent landowners.
The McCoskers were also known to be involved in the political and social aspects of Irish life. During the Irish Rebellion of 1641, some members of the family were reported to have aided the rebels, while others fought on the side of the English.
The name McCosker has since spread beyond Ireland, with many members of the family emigrating to America, Australia, and other parts of the world. Today, there are many people with the surname Cosker or McCosker who are proud of their Irish heritage and the rich history that comes along with it.
