Family name origins & meanings

  • Spanish (Morón) : habitational name from Morón de Almazán in Soria province or Morón de la Frontera in Seville. The former, and possibly the latter also, is probably named from Arabic maurûr ‘hidden’, from the past participle of wárrà ‘to hide or bury’.
  • Spanish (Morón) : in some cases, from a derivative of moro ‘Moor’.
  • French : possibly from the old personal name Maurone.
  • French : possibly in some cases a nickname from Old French moron ‘dreamer’.
