From the province of Moray in the north-east — a territorial name taken by families who held land there and carried it south. The Gaelic Moireabh is thought to mean ‘sea settlement’.
It is distinct from the Irish Murray, which usually renders Ó Muireadhaigh. Same spelling today, different roots.
Bestow the name a title it never had
An honorific Lord or Lady certificate in the Murray name, hand-finished and sealed, with a square metre of Scottish woodland dedicated alongside it. A novelty, magnificently done — and a good deal more fun than a family tree.
