Murray
Murray is a common variation of the word
Moray, an
anglicisation of the
Medieval Gaelic word
Muireb (or
Moreb); the
b here was pronounced as
v, hence the
Latinization to
Moravia. These names denote the district on the south shore of the
Moray Firth, in
Scotland.
Murray is a direct
transliteration of how Scottish people pronounce the word
Moray.
Murray is no longer used for the geographical area, but it became the commonest form of the
surname, especially among
Scottish emigrants, to the extent that the surname
Murray is now much more common than the original surname
Moray.
