McCooy Surname Definition:
Woulfe gives the Gaelic Irish form of this as Mac Cobhthaigh. I prefer, however, the form Mac Cumhaighe which Father Paul Walsh uses in his Irish Chiefs and Leaders. The name appears to be less numerous now than it was a century ago, when it was found in all the Oriel counties, especially Armagh.
