Murrey

Though the masculine name Murrey is spelled with an -e instead of an -a, it still has much in common with Murray. Both Murrey and Murray started out as last names derived from the Scots Gaelic and Irish languages. In Bonny Scotland, Murrey was a habitational title typically given to those who lived near a “seashore” or “coast,” such as the coastal town of Moray. Murrey’s Irish roots begin in Ó Muireadhaigh, a surname meaning “descendant of Muireadhach.” Examining Ó Muireadhaigh with a closer lens reveals muiredach, an Old Irish word for a “lord” or “master.” When little Murrey arrives, you might just discover that ruling the roost is what they do best.
