What is the meaning of the name Moragg ?

The baby name Moragg is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced MOR-ag (anglicized); IPA: /ˈmɔːrɑɡ/ or /ˈmɒræg/.

Moragg is Scottish Gaelic in Origin.

Moragg is a modern spelling variant of the Scottish Gaelic feminine name Morag (Gaelic Mòrag). The name derives from the adjective mòr, "great," combined with the affectionate diminutive suffix -ag, giving the sense of "little great one" or "beloved great." While Morag is the standard Anglicized form, Moragg doubles the final consonant by analogy with other English spellings and remains rare but intelligible within the same name family.

Usage centers on Gaelic-speaking Scotland, especially the Highlands and Islands, where the name appears in parish records from the 18th and 19th centuries and gained wider visibility in the 20th century through literature and media. Variants include Mòrag, Morag, Moragh, and the less common Moraig; related forms sometimes cited are Mòr (the root) and, by association rather than etymology, Moira. The name has seen modest revival in the Scottish diaspora (Canada, Australia, New Zealand) and carries a traditional yet approachable feel.
