Corkhill Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
(Celtic + Scandinavian) Manx contraction of MacThorketill = Son of Thorketill: v. Thurkell.
Contracted from Mac-Pór-Ketill. þorr, the God of thunder, the keeper of the hammer, the destroyer of evil spirits, the son of mother earth, was the favourite deity of the North. In the annals of Roger de Hoveden we read under date a.d. 1044 that ‘the noble Matron Gunhilda . . . with her two sons, Hemming and Turkill, was expelled from England.
Turkill, evidently a chief in Man, is one of the persons signing Olafs Charter to Furness in a.d. 1134. Perhaps he was the owner of Thorkelstad, and, if so, he probably gave some of his land to the abbey.
Bishop Thorgil took part in Haco’s expedition in A.D. 1263.
Both þORKELL and Vorgils are common in the Land- námabóc and the Flateyjarbóc.
'Donald MacCorkyll was Rector of the Church of St. Mary of Balylagh, in 1408, and ‘Edward Corkhill, one of the Deemsters of Mann, ' in 1532.
Probably a form of Corcelle. See Churchill.
