The surname Cox has a long and varied history, particularly in Ireland. It is believed to have originated from the Old English word cocc, meaning rooster or cock, and was likely used as a nickname for someone who displayed cocky or bold characteristics. The surname Cox is also associated with the ancient Celtic tribes of Ireland, and it is believed that the name may have been brought to the country by Anglo-Norman settlers during the medieval period.
In Ireland, the Cox surname has been recorded in various regions, including in County Cork, where it is believed to have been particularly prevalent. The Cox family has been associated with land ownership and agriculture in Ireland, with many members of the family holding positions of influence and power. The surname has also been linked to military service and other noble pursuits throughout Irish history.
During the 17th and 18th centuries, many individuals bearing the Cox surname emigrated from Ireland to other parts of the world, particularly to the United States, Australia, and Canada.
