Murray (surname)
Encyclopedia
Murray is a common variation of the word Moray
, an anglicisation
of the Medieval Gaelic
word Muireb (or Moreb); the b here was pronounced as v, hence the Latinization
to Moravia. These names denote the district on the south shore of the Moray Firth
, in Scotland
. Murray is a direct transliteration
of how Scottish people pronounce the word Moray.

, was the brilliant young general who led the Scots
in 1297 in their first uprising against the English
conquerors. He was mortally wounded while winning his famous victory at Stirling Bridge.
