Please remember that this page is only a small extract of our complete history that includes: - Ancient origin of the name (usually pre-1100)
- Known spelling variations
- Early movement of the family name during the Middle Ages
- Noteworthy bearers from the 1500-1600s
- First settlers to North America
- Notable contemporary bearers of the name
- A description and/or full color picture of the Coat of Arms, Crest, and Motto (where available)
The variation in the spelling of Medieval names is a result of the lack of spelling rules in the English language prior to the last few hundred years. Before that time, scribes spelled according to sound, often varying the spelling of name within a single document. McCurry has appeared as Currie, Curry, Currey and others.First found in Midlothian, where they held a family seat from very ancient times, some say well before the Norman Conquest and the arrival of Duke William at Hastings in 1066 A.D.
