Cormac is Irish in Origin.
Cormac is a Gaelic masculine name from Old Irish Cormacc, built on mac meaning "son," with a debated first element. Most authorities connect it to corb "chariot," yielding the sense "charioteer" or "son of the charioteer"; alternate scholarly readings exist but remain uncertain.
Attested across early Irish literature and annals, it was borne by the legendary lawgiver Cormac mac Airt and by Cormac mac Cuilennain, the 10th-century king-bishop of Munster and scholar. The name passed into Norse as Kormakr (see Kormaks saga) and persisted in Gaelic tradition into modern times, enjoying revival with Irish cultural movements in the 19th and 20th centuries and continued use in Ireland and Scotland today. Variants and related forms include Scottish Gaelic Cormag; Anglicized given names Cormack and Cormick; and surnames McCormack/McCormick ("son of Cormac"). Contemporary recognition comes from figures such as novelist Cormac McCarthy.
