Moore History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms

There are several distinct sources of the Moore surname in Ireland. Most of the name find their roots with the Anglo-Norman "Strongbow" invasion of the 12th century. Many of these became de Mora. Others derived from the Old Irish "O Mordha," from the word "mordha," meaning "stately," or "noble." The English surname Moore is derived from the personal name "More," which is itself derived from the Old French word "maur," meaning "Moor."

The name Moore is derived from the local ‘at the moor’, John o’ the Moor; or from residence near a boggy heath or moor, the Moorhouse; Mor, great, chief, tall, mighty, proud; or Moar, a collector of manorial rents in the Isle of Man. In the Old French, it refers to someone dark-skinned, or of dark and swarthy complexion.

Early Origins of the Moore Family

The surname Moore was first found in Leicestershire, before the name had made its way to Ireland; their first records appeared on the early census rolls taken by the early kings of Britain to determine the rate of taxation of their subjects.

Moore Spelling Variations

During the lifetime of an individual person, his name was often spelt by church officials and medieval scribes the way it sounded. An examination of the many different origins of each name has revealed many spelling variations for the name: Moore, More, Moor, O'More, Moores, Mores, McMore, Moire, Moare, MacMoore, McMoir, Moir, Moors, O'Moore, O'Moire, McMoare, MacMoir, MacMoare, Mooer Mure, and in Scotland Muir. Ancient names would include De Mora, and Ad Moram.

Moore Settlers in United States in the 17th Century

Isaac Moore (1622-1705), who immigrated to America aboard the Increase in 1635 to become one of the founding settlers of Norwalk, Connecticut and served in the General Court of the Connecticut Colony from Norwalk in the October 1657 session.

John Moore, who landed in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1636 .

James Moore, who landed in Salem, Massachusetts in 1637 .

Dorothy Moore, who arrived in Virginia in 1637.

Early settlers in America included Leonard Moore, who is recorded as “living at Elizabeth Cittee, Virginea” in 1624, having arrived on the ship “Bona Nova” in 1619. Also, Apollos Moore, born in England and immigrated to America. He settled in Rennselaerville and served in Revolutionary army.
