Murray

/ˈmɝi/ noun

Definition

A given name, traditionally masculine, also used as a surname with Scottish origins.

Etymology

From Gaelic 'Muireadhach' or from the Scottish place name 'Moray,' possibly meaning 'great lord' or 'lord of the sea.' The name was used as both a personal name and territorial title in Scotland.

Kelly Says

Interestingly, 'Murray' comes from a place in Scotland, but it became so popular as a personal name that people forgot it was originally a location! This happens with many surnames in English—place names become person names.
