Maurah Origin and Meaning

The name Maurah is a girl's name.

Maurah is a feminine name with Gaelic and Hebrew influences, likely derived from names like Maura (a feminine form of Maurus, meaning 'dark' or 'Moorish') with an added aspirated ending. This distinctive spelling variation gives the traditional name a more elaborate, distinctive quality. While relatively uncommon in mainstream usage, Maurah carries the warm, classic appeal of traditional names with an individualistic twist. The name has connections to Irish heritage but has transcended specific cultural boundaries. Pronunciation typically follows the pattern of 'MAWR-ah,' though variations exist. Maurah projects strength and dignity while maintaining feminine grace, appealing to parents seeking a name with traditional roots but a contemporary feel.
