What Is The Origination Of The Name Thor's Kettle?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    The surname MacCorquodale, MacCorkindale or the Gaelic version MacCoradail is derived from the Old Norse personal name Thorketill or Thors Kettle.
    The Gaelic version can also be spelt MacChorcadail and MacThorcadail.
    The early history of the clan is obscure. An account in Buchanan is not a reliable source.
    The name is mentioned in 1430 when Ewen  Mactorquedil or Ewgyne M'Corquheddell was summoned to appear before the sherrif in Perth.
    The patronomic is still relatively well known in the area of Kintyre.
