Facts About
Cornock
Cornock is a surname that is thought to be of French origin. It is thought to come from the French word ‘corne’ which refers to a horn. It would therefore have been used as an occupational name for a horn blower. However, it is thought to have another possible origin. In medieval times men with unfaithful wives, or ‘cuckolds’, were said to have horns. Shakespeare used cuckold puns in his plays. This surname may have been acquired as a nickname and used to tease such a man, then later would have become hereditary as did many nicknames. |
