Cusack Family Crest
Origin of the Name Cusack
The origin of the name Cusack was found in the allfamilycrests.com archives.
Over the centuries Surnames developed a wide number of variants. Different spellings of the same name can be traced back to an original root. Additionally when a bearer of a name emigrated it was not uncommon that their original name would be incorrectly transcribed in the record books at their new location. Surnames were also often altered over the years based on how they sounded phonetically and depending on the prevailing political conditions it may have been advantageous to change a name from one language to another.
Variants of the name Cusack
include Cussack and Cusac. This name is derived from a place in Guienne, in France and was first anglicized as 'de Cussac'. The name was introduced to Ireland by the Normans following the invasion of 1172. Among the first of the name were Geoffrey and Andre de Cusack who arrived with King John in 1211, obtaining lands in Meath and other Counties of the Pale where they held a prominent position up to the seventeenth century. Their descendants later supported the Catholic cause which brought about their ruin as a leading family. They lost nearly all of their lands in Meath, Kildare, Clare and Roscommon in the 1691 attainders and the forfeitures of 1701. One of the best known Irish actors on stage and screen was Cyril Cusack, born in the year 1910.
The Cusack coat of arms came into existence centuries ago. The process of creating coats of arms (also often called family crests) began in the eleventh century although a form of Proto-Heraldry may have existed in some countries prior to this. The new art of Heraldry made it possible for families and even individual family members to have their very own coat of arms, including all Cusack descendants.
