Murrie Family Crest & Name History

Some records give Murray; others give Murrie. Both point to the same Scottish family name. Taken at its root, Murrie points to “One who came from Moray (beside the sea), in Scotland”. Records show Murrie as one of the forms Murray took over time. You may also find the name written Murry, O'Murray and MacMurray.

The 2010 US Census counted 304 people named Murrie, ranking it number 65,244 among American surnames. That puts it inside the top 100,000 US surnames.

A coat of arms belongs to a particular family line rather than to everyone named Murrie, so the heraldry linked to Murray is a starting point, not an automatic right. Want more than a summary? See the Murrie family name pack.
