Gurkin Coat of Arms, Family Crest and Gurkin Family History
Gurkin Family History
The names Gurkin, Durkin, Durcan and Dorcan in Ireland are all derived from the native Gaelic O'Duarcain and MacDuarcain Septs that were located in Connaught Province in the West of the country and especially in County Sligo. Gurkan is another variant sometimes used as an anglicized form of these Sept names.
A Sept or Clan is a collective term describing a group of persons whose immediate ancestors had a common surname and all inhabited the same lands.
