The surname Cotter, also known as MacCotter, has its origins in Ireland. It is an anglicized version of the Gaelic name Mac Oitir, which means son of Oitir. The name Oitir itself comes from the Old Norse name Óttarr, meaning fearless or rich in wealth, suggesting a possible Norse Viking origin for the Cotter family.

Historically, the Cotter family were part of the Gaelic nobility in Ireland, known as the Uí Fidgeinte. They held lands in County Cork and were associated with the ancient kingdom of Desmond. The Cotter name was widespread throughout the province of Munster, particularly in Cork, where they were prominent landowners and farmers.

During the period of English colonization in Ireland, many Irish families faced dispossession of their lands and were forced into tenant farming. The Cotter family, like others, continued to maintain their presence despite these hardships. They often held the position of tenant farmers or cottiers, which is where the surname Cotter originates from. In this context, cottier referred to someone who lived in a cottage and farmed a small plot of land.

Today, the Cotter or MacCotter surname can be found among Irish descendants worldwide, particularly in countries with significant Irish diaspora communities. Many individuals with this surname continue to embrace and celebrate their Irish heritage and roots.
