English and Irish: from the Old Norse personal name
þorkell, a contracted form of a name composed of the
elements þórr, name of the Scandinavian god of thunder
(see Thor) + ketill ‘cauldron’. The personal name
Thurkill or Thirkill was in use throughout England in
the Middle Ages; in northern England it had been introduced directly
by Scandinavian settlers, whereas in the South it was the result of
Norman influence. This surname and its variants are especially common
in East Anglia. In Ireland the Old Norse name was adopted as a Gaelic
personal name (Thorcall), which generated the surnames
McCorkle and Corkill.
