Cormick

Cormick is a surname of Gaelic origin and, less commonly, a given name. It is typically treated as a variant of the surname McCormick or Mac Cormick, which derives from the Gaelic Mac Cormaic meaning "son of Cormac." The given name Cormac, from Old Irish Cormac, is often linked to the raven in traditional etymology, though exact roots are debated. The surname Cormick most likely arose as an anglicized form of Mac Cormaic and later developed into distinct family names with the simplified spelling Cormick.

In distribution, the name is found in Ireland and Scotland and in diaspora communities in North America and other English-speaking regions. Today, Cormick is most commonly a surname; given-name usage remains rare. Spelling variants include Cormack, McCormick, McCormack, and MacCormick, with regional practices shaping which form is used by a family.
