About Murphie
More traditional spelling Murphy is far more popular, given to 783 girls (and 341 boys) in a recent year in the US — but this alternative is beginning to gain more attention. Given to around 80 girls in 2025 — compared to just 6 in 2015 when it made its US debut — it has yet to appear in the stats for boys.
Derived from the Irish Murchadh, it has the charming meaning of "sea warrior" — a big draw for fans of coastal names and those who value marine conservation.
Pronounced MER-fee.
As of October 2026, Murphie ranked #2292 for girls in US births in 2025 SSA.
