Moar is in Origin.

Moar is a rare given name drawn from a Scottish–Manx surname with Gaelic roots. It most plausibly derives from Gaelic mòr/mór, meaning “great, big, eminent,” an epithet once used to distinguish an elder or notable person. As a byname in the Highlands and Isles, mòr contributed to surnames such as Moir and More; Moar appears in records from northeast Scotland and the Isle of Man. On Manx soil, moar also named a manorial officer (a rent-collector), which helped fix the term as a hereditary surname.

Used today as a modern, minimalist first name, Moar carries the sense of stature and seniority. Variant spellings and related forms include Moir, More, Moor, and (with broader, sometimes separate origins) Moore; Irish Mór and Scottish Gaelic Mòr/Mòrag are cognate given names. Unrelated lookalikes such as Hebrew Mor (“myrrh”) occasionally influence contemporary usage, but the core meaning remains “great.”
