Muyre is Irish in Origin.

Muyre is an extremely rare modern given name, likely a creative respelling influenced by Irish Muire and Máire (forms of Mary) and by the Scots surname Muir. In Irish, Muire is the honorific form used solely for the Virgin Mary, while Máire names other women; both trace back to Hebrew Miryam, whose debated roots include “beloved,” “bitter,” “wished-for child,” or the poetic “drop of the sea.” From Gaelic muir “sea” and Scots muir “moorland,” Muyre also evokes maritime and landscape imagery.

Documented use is recent, appearing sporadically in late 20th–21st-century records, sometimes as a unisex choice seeking Celtic flavor with a novel look. Close variants and relatives include Muire, Máire (Maire), Moira, Moyra, Mary, and the surname-derived Muir; thematically related are Meara (“sea”) and Muireann (“sea-white”). Overall meanings cluster around Mary and the natural sense “of the sea” or “from the moor.”
