Cottage Family History
Cottage Name Meaning
English: from a local pronunciation of Cottis which is probably a variant of Coates . The change in the final syllable is similar to that in Surridge for earlier Surreis. There is no evidence to support the view in some dictionaries that it derives from Middle English cotage ‘cottage’. Americanized form of Croatian and Serbian Katić (see Katic ).
