Moria

Moria is a girl’s name that’s a reimagining of the Old Irish and Scots Gaelic names Maureen and Máire. Stemming from the Hebrew Mary, it means "beloved," “wished-for child,” “bitterness,” and “rebellious.” Thanks to its connections to the Hebrew Moriah, some other translations include “seen by Yah,” “Yah is awesome,” and “Yah is teacher,” perfect for sharing your faith with baby. Moria is also considered a Greek name, meaning "sacred olive tree." Meanwhile, for fans of The Lord of the Rings, perhaps baby Moria will also develop an interest in exploring the earth’s depths. From the breadth of the ocean to the roots of the earth, Moria has a genuine connection with nature that will appeal to a parent who loves the outdoors!
