Meaning & Story
A Scottish Gaelic surname meaning 'great' or 'from the moor,' with quiet Highland dignity.
Moir is a traditional Scottish surname derived from the Gaelic word for 'great' or possibly referencing the moorland. It has the spare, windswept quality of a name that belongs to rugged Scottish landscapes and quiet dignity. As a pet name, it suits a female dog with a calm, noble bearing — perhaps a Scottish Terrier or a Collie who seems to have an innate understanding of the land beneath her paws. Moir is understated, genuine, and quietly beautiful.
