Muirgheas
Muirgheas is a masculine given name in the Irish language. The name is composed of two elements: the first, muir, means "sea"; the second element, gus, means "choice". The name has been Anglicised to the etymologically unrelated Maurice. A contracted form of the name is Muiris (which is also a form of Maurice in Irish).[1]
 Muirgheas in a Gaelic type, note the lenited g in the name (gh) once appeared in Irish orthography with a dot above it, as pictured. | |
