Corlett
Corlett is a surname of Manx origin. The name is an Anglicisation of the Gaelic ''Mac Thorliot'', derived from an Old Norse personal name composed of two elements: the name '' Þórr'' and ''ljótr'' meaning "bright". Another opinion is that the Old Norse ''Þorliótr'' may mean "Thor-people". The name appears earliest in records as ''Corlett'' in 1504 and ''MacCorleot'' in 1511.

In consequence most Manx surnames are derived from the Gaelic languages, Gaelic or Old Norse, Norse languages.
