Carmichael is mainly a Scottish surname but some Carmichaels are Irish. The Irish version of Carmichael originated because of their job. They were the carns (groundkeepers) of the St. Michaels church in Ireland. When they migrated to America they were known as the "Carnmichaels". Because of their heavy Irish accents many people couldn't hear the "n" in their name so they were later known as the "Carmichaels". If you want more information on the surname Carmichael I would suggest looking at ancestry.com. I hope you found this helpful!
