Meaning & origin
Cormick is a rare Irish given name, first recorded in U.S. data in 1995. It reached its peak popularity in 2014, but has been falling in use since 2015. In its peak year, it was given to a few dozen boys nationwide, making it a distinctive choice. The name is an anglicized variant of Cormac, a name deeply rooted in Irish mythology and history, borne by legendary kings and saints. Its rarity in the United States reflects its strong cultural ties to Ireland, where Cormac and its variant Cormick remain modestly used. For families seeking a name that honors Irish heritage without being common, Cormick offers a unique option.
Cormick is an anglicized form of the Irish name Cormac, derived from the Old Irish elements corb (chariot) and mac (son), meaning "charioteer" or "son of the chariot." It was the name of several early Irish kings and saints, including the legendary High King Cormac mac Airt. In modern times, it has been used as a given name in Ireland and among the Irish diaspora, though it remains relatively rare.
