Etymology of CorlessWhat does the name Corless mean? The surname Corless is an Anglicization of the Irish Mac Coirleasa. Later the name evolved to Mac Cathail and Mac Carluis. The forename Cathal is equivalent to Charles. 1 Early Origins of the Corless familyThe surname Corless was first found in Ui Maine, but now the name is mostly found in Co. Galway. 1 O'Hart notes that Cathal, brother of Inrachtach was the ancestor of O'Donallain which is Anglicized as Donnellan. "This Cathal was the 18th Christian King of Connaught." (O'Hart) His son, Ardgall "died a saint at Hye, in Scotland A.D. 786." Cathal as a forename continued in this lineage for many years.

The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Subditus fidelis regis et salus regni
Motto Translation: A subject faithful to the King and the safety of the kingdom
