Clan Muir
Clan Muir is a Scottish clan that is armigerous (it has no chief recognized by the Court of the Lord Lyon). Historically, the surnames Muir, Mure, and Moore can be considered septs of Clan Campbell and septs of Clan Gordon in the highlands. The spelling variation More/Moore is a sept of Clan Leslie in Aberdeenshire. Some members of Clan Muir who trace their ancestry to Ayrshire are septs of Clan Boyd. A single family, the Mores of Drumcork, are septs of Clan Grant. ==Origins and history==
The Scottish surname ''Muir'' originated as name denoting someone who lived beside a moor. The name is derived from the Scots form of the Middle English ''more'', meaning "moor" or "fen".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Learn about the family history of your surname ). This website cited: 〕 Muirs are thought to have descended from the Pictish Celts, of both Ireland and Scotland. The name may alternately derive from the Scottish Gaelic word ''muir,'' meaning ''sea,'' or ''mòr'' meaning ''of great size, tall and important,'' as in ''duine mòr,'' a great man or considerable personage.
