hmm, this one is quite difficult, but i've found some possibilities: the name seems to be English of origin, although i had to think of France. But Cormany has spelling variants Cormeny and Cormaney (and more). Delaney is from the French surname Delaine, so i tried Cormaine and it is a French firstname. Now i also found Corman as a Gaelic firstname. They might be related. I also saw the surnames Corman, Cormann, etc. These names mean literally 'corn man', thus someone who worked on the corn fields. It might be either of these two or maybe i've missed a possibility.
