Meaning and Origin of the Last Name Moore
The last name Moore has a rich history and multiple origins.
In England, it is derived from the Middle English personal name “More” which was originally used to denote someone with a swarthy complexion or someone who lived on a moor.
Meanwhile, in Ireland, the name was derived from the Gaelic “O’Mordha” which means “descendant of Mordha” with “Mordha” meaning “great, chief, mighty, or proud.”
The name Moore has belonged to tons of famous folks over the years, including the American filmmaker Michael Moore, the British actress Julianne Moore, and the American singer-songwriter Mandy Moore.
