Most of the people with the Irish surname Moore can trace their origins back to the Strongbow invasion of the 12th century. Many of these became "de Mora".

Others derive from the Old Irish "O Mordha", meaning "stately" or "noble".

The Old English origin comes from the given name "More", which comes from the French word for "Moor".

At any rate, the family motto is "Conlan forever".
