Murrey Origin and Meaning

The name Murrey is a boy's name.

Murrey is a masculine name with medieval English origins, derived from the Old French word "moré," meaning dark purple or mulberry-colored. Historically, murrey was a heraldic color used in coats of arms and medieval clothing. As a personal name, Murrey functions as a variant spelling of Murray, which originally came from a Scottish place name and later became a surname before transitioning to usage as a first name. While Murray has maintained modest popularity throughout the English-speaking world, Murrey as a spelling variant remains quite uncommon. The name carries connotations of nobility and tradition, with subtle connections to both color symbolism and Scottish heritage.
