The Irish surname Marra has its origins rooted in the Gaelic language, derived from the word mara, meaning sea. It is believed that the name was initially given to those who lived near the sea or were associated with maritime activities. As Ireland has a rich history of seafaring, it is likely that many individuals received the surname Marra due to their involvement in fishing, trade, or naval endeavors.
The Marra surname may have been introduced to Ireland by Norse settlers during the Viking Age, as they had a significant presence in the coastal regions. Over time, the name became anglicized, with variations such as Marra, Marray, and Murray emerging. The Marra surname is predominantly found in the western coastal regions of Ireland, particularly in counties Mayo, Donegal, and Galway.
In addition to its association with the sea, the surname Marra could also be derived from the Irish name Ó Muireadhaigh, meaning descendant of Muireadhach. Muireadhach was a personal name meaning lord or navigator, further emphasizing the link to maritime activities. As with many Irish surnames, the spelling and pronunciation of Marra have likely evolved over time, making it challenging to trace precise ancestral origins.
