Origin of the Name Curry

The ancient history of the name Curry was found in the allfamilycrests.com archives. Meaning 'at the corrie', Curry is a locational name from the lands of Corrie now included in the Parish of Hutton-Currie, Dumfriesshire. Variants include Corry, Corrie, Cory, Currie and Currey. This name is of Scottish descent spreading to Ireland , England and Wales in early times and is found in many mediaeval manuscripts throughout these countries. Examples of such are a Hugh de Corrie who witnessed a charter of a fishery in Torduf, in the year 1194, and a Radulph de Corry who witnessed a charter by Henry de Grahame in the year 1200. In Ireland this name is often of immigrant origin, especially in Ulster Province, but it is also derived from the Gaelic O'Comhraidhe septs of Thomond and Moygoish.
