Corrie (surname) derived from the Gaelic "coire", meaning "cauldron", which was used in place names to describe a circular valley on the side of a mountain. Another origin of the surname is from a variation of the surnames "Corry" and "McCorry", which are common in the north of Ireland. These particular surnames are derived from the Irish "Mac Gothraidh", meaning "son of "Gothradh"". In Ireland, the surname is rare, although it is found in numbers in Belfast and Derry. The surname, when found in Ireland, can originate as either the northern Irish patronym, or from any of the Scottish toponyms. The name
McLaughlin (surname) and M(a)cLoughlin are rarely English forms of the surname "ó/ní Lachtna", a phonetic corruption of the much more common "Loughney" or "M(a)cLoughney". Unlike Irish surnames that have only one Gaelic source for their English form, it is not possible to tell by the spelling "McLaughlin" and other English spellings whether the person bearing the name is descended from the "Mac/Nic Lochlainn" family, the "Ó/Ní M(h)ǽilsheáchlainn" family, or the "Ó/Ní Lachtna" family.
