Variations—O4 Moran, Morrin, MacMor-

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. The correct ren-
