Racial Origin—Irish and Scottish. Source—Given Names. There are two sources to the family names in this group, both of them Gae- lic. ' Strictly speaking, the family name of MacMorran does not belong in; the same group with the others, but as the spellings are so similar they are likely to become confused, and un- doubtedly have done so many times in the past. The name MacMorran is Scottish, and is borne by a branch of the Clan Mackinnon. The Hghland designation of the sept, is the "Chlann Mhoirein," distinguishing it as the descendants of a chieftain named "Moghron," a name Which translated literally means "slave of the seal." The names Moran, , O'Moran and Morrin are Irish, and are of entirely different derivation.

"Moran," a tranlation of which would be "a Multitude." The; thoughts embodied in the- orig- inal; meaning of many of these Celtic givens names are no more difficult of comprehension than those 'which mark the ancient Teutonic or even the He- br'ew' names. It is no more strange that . ancient Gothic parents should have' named a child "Multitude" than that ancient Gothic 'parents should have named theirs "Resolute Helmet," whish .is the meaning of the name William. There, was, of course, a poetic or romantic significance in the origin of all given names, in that dawn of human h1Story when men, not hav- ing names ready made for them as to- day, had to invent them: ,Most deft adored, thy'• nimi!le fingers make A thousand pictures in my mind awake, For no young thing of beast or or tree I've seen, but I have seemed to look on thee, -And at thy sound Igo remembering About the woods of every vanished spring: TEFULLE T Mane people, after they ltltve bowie' Touching Woof. ed' of .their good luck, proceed to "touch woof!:" So did our remote an Frolit: Lad Made Well by Dr."' eeste s, y � the tree v o7�:lz)pI)oxs, 'Williams' Pink Pills.
