Sea warrior
Derived from the Gaelic name Muireadhach, which combines elements meaning 'sea' and 'warrior' or 'protector'. Historically common in Scotland and Ireland, it was often used to denote a seafaring leader or mariner. While it has shifted primarily to a surname in modern times, it retains a rugged, nautical strength as a first name.
