Cussen

Ireland

The names Cousins, Cussans and Cussen in Ireland are of Norman origin having been brought to the country during the twelfth century (around 1295AD, during the Norman invasion of Ireland). Families bearing this name formed the Cuisin Sept along native Gaelic lines and became fully integrated into Irish society. Counties Limerick, Wexford and Cork were the main settlement areas.
