Curry (surname) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Curry (surname)
Curry is a common surname used in Ireland, Scotland and England. In England and Scotland, it is thought to derive from local place names, ''curie'' (an Old French word from kitchen worker) and, in Scotland, also possibly from MacVurich. ==Forms of the name== In some cases the surname is an Anglicised form of the Irish ''Ó Comhraidhe''; the "h" lenites the preceding consonant, so the Anglicised form is not far from the pronunciation in Irish. It sometimes takes the form Corry or Corra, especially in the northern counties, where in the few early records in which the name is found the prefix ‘Mac’ is usually substituted for ‘O’. Corry, however, may also have other origins which will be mentioned later. In Scotland the surname was originally Gaelic ''MacMhuirich'' however with the Highland clearances, many Gaelic names were Anglicised so the surname's took the form of something that sounded similar. MacMhuirich took variations such as MacVurich, Currie, Curry and Currey.
