Moria is a girl's name meaning "star of the sea." It's a reimagining of the Old Irish and Scots Gaelic names Maureen and Máire, and a respelling of the girl's name Maria. Moria also stems from the name Mary, meaning "beloved." Moria is also considered a Greek name, meaning "sacred olive tree." Meanwhile, for fans of The Lord of the Rings, perhaps baby Moria will also develop an interest in exploring the earth’s depths. From the breadth of the ocean to the roots of the earth, Moria has a genuine connection with nature that will appeal to a parent who loves the outdoors!
