From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The word quirk is used to describe an odd habit, and is used as a surname.

Most dictionaries list this word's origin as "unknown". However, as the surname arises from the Isle of Man in the Irish Sea, and because the island is somewhat notorious for idiosyncratic behaviors, this may be the place of origin.[original research?].

Or quirk could derive from the Manx Gaelic name "Mac Cork" meaning 'son of my heart'.

Prior to the twentieth century, the most common variant for this "phylum" was Quark.
