Question:

Where does the surname Divitt come from?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: County Cork in Ireland. It most likely was changed from O'Divitt at Ellis Island or sometime in the past century and a half. It would not have started with Mc. Mc never was imbibed to the Divitt coat of arms. You come from a aristocratic line who's wealth included much of the land in both Cusker and Cork Counties.
