The surname More is of Irish descent and has a long and interesting history. It is derived from the Gaelic name "Ó Mórdha," which means "descendant of Mórdha." The prefix "Ó" signifies "grandson" or "descendant," while "Mórdha" is derived from the Gaelic word "mór," meaning "large" or "great." This suggests that the original bearers of the surname were likely to be descendants of someone who was notable or distinguished.
The More name can be traced back to ancient Ireland, where the Mórdha clan held significant power and influence. They were known as warriors and played a prominent role in Irish history. The clan's stronghold was in County Laois, which was formerly known as "Loígis."
During the centuries of English rule in Ireland, many Irish surnames underwent changes due to Anglicization. In the case of the More surname, the prefix "Ó" was often dropped, and the name was anglicized to "More." This modification aimed to align the surname with English naming conventions.
Today, the More surname is relatively common in Ireland and can also be found in other parts of the world, particularly among Irish diaspora communities. It serves as a proud reminder of the ancient Mórdha clan's legacy and their contributions to Irish history and culture.
