Moran

Moran is a name of Irish origin, derived from the ancient Gaelic name Mórán. The name is believed to have been borne by several figures in early Irish history, including a High King of Ireland who reigned during the 8th century. The meaning of Moran is often said to be "seaside" or "by the sea," which may be a reference to its coastal origin. However, some sources suggest that it could also mean "great" or "noble," reflecting the high social standing of many historical figures named Moran. Over time, the name Moran has become increasingly popular in both Ireland and beyond. Today, it is often used as both a boy's and girl's name, although its origins are distinctly male. Despite its Irish roots, Moran can be found among people of various backgrounds and nationalities around the world.
