Moorehead Last Name History & Origin

Add

History

The surname Moorhead was first found in Lanarkshire (Gaelic: Siorrachd Lannraig) a former county in the central Strathclyde region of Scotland, now divided into the Council Areas of North Lanarkshire, South Lanarkshire, and the City of Glasgow. Today, Muirhead is a small suburb of Glasgow, about 7 miles North-East of the city center.

Name Origin

Moore means a tract of open uncultivated land preserved for shooting. Alternatively, in Old English it means to fasten (a ship) in a particular location by or as by cables, anchors, etc. Given that surnames were often given to individuals based on profession, it is possible to assume that the surname “Moorehead” was given to Scottish and Irish citizens that either worked the docks or land in Scotland and Ireland.

Spellings & Pronunciations

Moorhead is also referred to as Muirhead, Morehead, Moorehead and Murehead.

Nationality & Ethnicity

Scotland and Ireland.

Early photo of Agnes Moorehead
Early photo of Agnes Moorehead
This is the earliest photo I could find of the talented actress Agnes Moorehead. If you have any details about this photo like when it might have been taken please leave a comment and I'll update the description.

2020 Update: Thanks to some sleuthing by Peter Nosko the photographer seems to be Irving Chidnoff who was a celebrity photographer in New York City that was active between the years 1925-1948.

Given that Agnes was born in 1900, I'd say this photo was likely taken around 1925-1930.
