Meaning and background
The story behind Mccormack
McCormack is a surname shared between Ireland and Scotland. It is recorded as a variant of McCormick, itself derived from the Gaelic patronymic Mac Cormaic, “son of Cormac”. The spelling difference does not create a new literal meaning, nor does the ancestral name tell us anything about a dog's character. McCormack is best presented with that connected surname history rather than with a generic claim about strength or bravery.
- Origin
- Irish and Scottish surname variant of McCormick, ultimately from Gaelic Mac Cormaic, “son of Cormac”. Source
