It doesn't really make sense. Presumably the person was equating cor or corb with the word for raven found in Corbin or the Scottish word corbie. I take it that's ultimately from the Latin. The problem is that Cormac is a Gaelic name and the mac element is Gaelic. The Irish Gaelic word for raven is fiach, as in the name Fiachra.

I found this raven-connection only in a book of Bruce Lansky, and as there are tons of mistakes in that book, I would not trust any of the meanings given by him.
Authors who really seem to do some research use to give the same meaning as BtN: Cormac
