Cotter Family
This article concerns the Norse-Gaelic Cotter family (Irish Mac Coitir or Mac Oitir) of Ireland, which is particularly associated with County Cork and ancient Cork city, and their connections. The family is also associated with the Isle of Man and the Hebrides and this is discussed as well. For Cotter families of other origins please see Cotter (surname).
Evidence suggests an ultimately Norwegian origin of the name.

Famous quotes containing the word family:
“Female Virtues are of a Domestick turn. The Family is the proper Province for Private Women to Shine in. If they must be showing their Zeal for the Publick, let it not be against those who are perhaps of the same Family, or at least of the same Religion or Nation, but against those who are the open, professed, undoubted Enemies of their Faith, Liberty, and Country.”
—Joseph Addison (1672–1719)
