CUSICK Family History

This interesting surname is of Norman-French locational origin from Cussac in Guienne, an ancient province of south west France, so called from the Gallo-Roman personal name "Cucius" or "Cussius", with the local suffix "-acum", settlement. Introduced into Ireland in the wake of the Anglo-Norman Invasion of 1169 - 1170, the name was first Anglicized as "de Cussac" and "de Cusack", and rendered "de Ciomhsog" in Irish. Cusick, along with other Norman names such as Tobin (originally "St. Aubyn") and Roche (originally "de Roche"), may now be regarded as completely Hibernicized.
