Cotter family
This article concerns the Norse-Gaelic Cotter family (Irish Mac Coitir or Mac Oitir) of Ireland, which is particularly associated with County Cork and ancient Cork city, and their connections. The family is also associated with the Isle of Man and the Hebrides and this is discussed as well. For Cotter families of other origins please see Cotter (surname).
Evidence suggests an ultimately Norwegian origin of the name.
==Norse origins==
The Cotters are noted as one of the very few Irish families of verifiable Norse descent to survive the Norman invasion of Ireland,〔Ó Murchadha, pp. 261–4〕 although it is currently unknown if this is genetically paternal or only maternal. This question mattered considerably less to the Norse of the period than to the Gaelic Irish, whose entire rigid class structure was and remains based on agnatic descent.
A family manuscript of later date claims the Cotters are descendants of Óttar of Dublin (Son of Mac Ottir), who was King of Dublin from 1142 to 1148, through his son Thorfin and grandson Therulfe.〔Ó Murchadha, p. 261〕 This is not impossible, nor even improbable, but currently remains unverified, the greater part of the history of the Norse in Ireland, and especially those in Munster, being lost. The Gaelic Mac Coitir was originally ''Mac Oitir'', meaning "Descendant of Óttar".
