Cormod Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

Contracted from Mac Dermot, a shortened form of Mac Diarmid, 'Diarmaid’s Son'.

The Mac Diarmiada or Mac Dermots were princes of Moylurg in Co. Roscommon. They split into three families, 'the head of whom was styled the Mac Dermot, and the other two, who were tributary to him, were called Mac Dermot Ruadh, the Red, and Mac Dermot Gall, or the Anglicised.' It has been supposed that the Scan­dinavian þORMo∂R is an accommodation of Diarmaid. It may, however, be a distinct Scandinavian name con­taining the usual prefix þqr, though, as it is not found in the Sagas, probably not. We know, however, from the History of Olaf the Black, King of Man, that persons of the name of Thormod and Thormodson were living in Sky in 1229. It seems probable that, considering the forms which Kermode has always taken in the Isle of Man, it came to us through the Scandinavians, though originally of Celtic origin. Professor Zimmer explains Diarmad as being from Dia-ermit, ‘God-reverencing'.

Kermode is much commoner than Cormode.
