    Name Meaning

    English: variant of Moores . This rare form of the name was once current from the 16th century onward in a number of English counties (especially Cheshire) but seems now to have died out.

    Possibly also an altered form of Dutch Moers or of some other similar (like-sounding) surname.

    History: Edmund Mooers from England arrived to Boston, MA, in 1638 on the ship Confidence.
