Curlet Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
(formerly pronounced Curleod) is from the personal name pórljótr (the initial c representing the Celtic prefix mac). The word lotr means 'deformed', or 'ugly', but that can scarcely be its meaning in this compound. Dr. Vigfusson thinks that ljót is the same as the old Teutonic leód, 'people'. It is not found by itself in the Landnáma- bóc, though in combination with þórr it is common there. In the Flateyjarbóc, written two centuries later, this compound name occurs twice. Ljótr is found on the cross in the old churchyard at Ballaugh in combination with Ulb, as in the name Lintulb or Leod-Wolf.
'The name Thor has always been thought to sound well, and is much used in proper names, þorljotr is found in many runic stones in Denmark. The MacLeods, in Scotland, have always claimed a Scandinavian origin, and their name is probably from Mac ljótr, the þor not having been inserted'. ‘The MacLeods of Cadboll, and the MacLeods of Lewis, not only quarter the Manx trie cassyn (three legs), but use the same motto, quocunque jeceris stabit; which, I think, dearly points out that the chiefs of that name are descendants from the Norwegian sovereigns of Mann and the Isles, or some other Manx connexion.' In Ballaugh and Lezayre nearly one-fourth part of the population are Corletts.
