Firth is a word in the Scots and English languages used to denote various coastal waters in Scotland and England.In mainland Scotland it is used to describe a large sea bay, or even a strait. In the Northern Isles it more usually refers to a smaller inlet.owever, some firths are exceptions. The Cromarty Firth on the east coast of Scotland, for example, resembles a large loch with only a relatively small outlet to the sea and the Solway Firth and the Moray Firth are more like extremely large bays.
Recorded as MacMurray, McMurray, Murray, Murrey, Moray, and possibly others, this famous and interesting surname is generally thought to be Scottish, may sometimes be Irish, and occasionally is English! It has four possible origins. The first is locational from the Moray Firth in North East Scotland. This area is thought to be named from pre 10th century Old Celtic and Gaelic elements meaning a settlement by the sea. The second is probably associated, being a development of the Gaelic Mac Muireadhaigh, meaning the son of the sea man. The third is also Gaelic, and probably Irish from Mac giolla Mhuire, meaning the son of the follower of the Virgin Mary, whilst the fourth is English, and a variant of the surname Merry.
