Mccoy

The name McCoy comes from an English variation of the Gaelic name Mac Aodh, and the meaning of McCoy is 'son of Aodh', or 'son of fire', since Aodh was a Pagan fire God. A widespread surname in Celtic lands, the name McCoy has evolved from being just a name to being used in English phrases. For example, the English phrase, the real McCoy, which means the real thing, is said to have been coined from various scenarios involving different McCoys who lived at varying times. So, McCoy is most commonly used as a surname instead of as a first name. The name is also believed to be of Scottish and Irish origins. One of them is the late Canadian-American engineer named Elijah McCoy, who invented lubrication systems for steam engines that were so good that inferior imitations were being produced. This made people request the real McCoy. Other notable personalities who bear the name include Al McCoy, the American broadcaster and announcer nicknamed the Voice of the Suns, Garry McCoy, also called The Slide King, and Travis McCoy, the American rapper, singer, and songwriter.
