The mccomber Surname
mccomber Name Meaning and History
Irish: Anglicized form of a Gaelic name, probably Mac
Ciaragáin ‘descendant of Ciaragán’, a personal name
based on a diminutive of ciar ‘black’, ‘dark’ (see
Kerrigan), but erroneously identified with cíor
‘comb’. However, the Irish evidence is for Ó Ciaragáin,
not Mac Ciaragáin, so the Mac prefix is surprising.
