Corbet family
Corbet is supposed to have been first recorded in Pays de Caux, Normandy, as the name of a Norman baron named "Corbet le Normand" (Corbet the Northman) who was born in the early 11th century. The name Corbet derives from the Anglo-Norman French word ''corb'', meaning "crow."〔Hanks et al, p. 141.〕 It is a diminutive form, hence meaning "little crow". The modern French word ''corbeau'' is generally translated as "crow". Variants of the name include: Corbet, Corbett, Corbitt, Corbit, Corbetts, Corbete, Corben and possibly the variant of Corbin. It has cognates in other languages: the Spanish name ''Cuervo'', for example, which generally means a raven or rook.〔Hanks et al., p. 152.〕 The underlying derivation is from the Latin word ''corvus'', crow. Generally it is thought to be a jocular reference to a person who was thought to resemble a crow: in hair colour, tone of voice or shape of nose. However, the Scandinavians believed that a raven on the battlefield was a beneficial omen and ensures victory.
