Murrough

US Popularity Rank: None

Origin: Celtic

Meaning: Sea battle

Life is no easy feat; some compare it to a raging storm, so it's always best to be armed with a name that carries strength and courage. Murrough is one of those ancient names that radiated wisdom. The honorific derives from the Old Irish "muir" and "cath" meaning "sea battle." Murrough is also the anglicized version of the Celtic name Murchadh, which was born by several kings and Irish chieftains. In the company leaders, little Murrough will thrive.
