Lastname is a variant form of Cushion. County of Limerick and elsewhere. A corruption of Mac Ossian - A well-known prefix of surnames of Celtic origin, signifying son of, and therefore cognate withthe Ap-of Welsh, the Fitz-of Anglo-Norman, and the Son of English surnames. In England and other countries of Europe the great staple of family names is derived from a territorial source, but among the Celts of Scotland, Ireland, and Wales, the surname was almost uniformly that of the father or some ancestor, with a prefix. In Ireland O, (formerly ua) grandson or descendant, is the ordinary prefix, and the O's bear the proportion of ten to one to the Macs. In Scotland the case is reversed, and while there are said to be only three indigenous surnames in O, there are many hundreds of Macs. See art.

,p>By the kindness of correspondents who have made collections of surnames with this prefix, I am enabled to lay before the reader a nearly complete list of them-nay, it may rather be called redundant, since in many instances two or more variations of a name have been made through ignorance among the lower classes of the people. This is especially the case when the name which follows the Mac begins with a vowel, and the c is tacked on to the beginning of the same name. In this way Mac Alpine, Mac Allan, and Mac Leod have become Mac Calapine, Mac Callan, and Mac Cloud, to the total confusion of kindred and etymology. Near kinsmen sometimes vary their common patronymic so much that none but themselves would imagine that they were of a common stock; thus a Mac Črie might be uncle, and a Mac Craw, cousin, to a MacRae. The principal names in MAC, such as those of Clans, will receive each a separate notice in the body of the work. As before intimated, a very large proportion of those here given, en masse, are borne by the lowest of the Celtic people, and possess no historical interest. Some, on the other hand, have always been associated with wealth and worldly respectability; while a few are obviously English names to which Juc has been prefixed from mere caprice, or from a desire of assimilation to the Celtic race.It is otherwise written Cushin and Cussen, and anglicised to Cousins, but pronounced Cuzzeen.
