About the Moran Family Tartan
The Moran name comes from the Gaelic Ó Móráin, descendant of Mórán, a personal name built on mór, meaning great or big. It is an Irish name rather than a Scottish clan, and those who bear it wear an Irish national or county tartan.
There was more than one Moran sept, in different parts of Ireland, so families of the name may look to more than one county; a county tartan for the district a family came from is often the most fitting choice.
Moran Tartan Pattern and Colours
This collection draws on warm golds and greens with darker lines — the colours of the western countryside, its small fields, stone walls and turf, under the changing light of the Atlantic coast.
Moran Heritage
The Morans are found above all in the west — Mayo, Galway, Roscommon and Sligo — where the name is among the commonest in some districts, and also in Leitrim and the midlands. As with many Irish names, more than one distinct sept carried it, each with its own country and its own descent.
The west was hit hard by the Great Famine and by the long emigration that followed, and Moran families left Mayo and the neighbouring counties in great numbers for Britain, America and Australia. The name is now carried far beyond Ireland, and a county tartan gives those families a way to name the ground their people came from.
