The Scottish surname Cummings, also found in Ireland, is an anglicized form of the Gaelic name Mac Cuimín (or Ó Cuimín) ‘son (or ‘descendant’) of Cuimín’, a personal name formed from a diminutive of cam ‘crooked’. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Willelmus Comyn (Chancellor of Scotland), which was dated 1133, in the records of Kelso Abbey, Scotland. In Ireland the name is found most frequently in counties Cork and Dublin.
