"By the evidence of ancient charters, the orthography of this name seems to have been so various as to occasion some difficulty in distinguishing the different families who bore it, as we find individuals
of the same family promiscuously designed by the names of Moir, More, Moor, More, Mure, Muir...".
"The name has a double origin, from Maure or Saracen...and in Scotland from the Gaelic etymology, Mohr, big or great — allusive to remarkable size of person."
