The word Muir is a boy's name. It is also a name found used in surnames and the name of places as well. It is believed to have Gaelic and Scottish origin. It means "moor". A moor is basically an uncultivated piece of land located slightly higher then the surrounding ground. Muir is more popular as a surname and is somewhat of a rarity where first names are concerned.

The name Muir is most closely associated with naturalist and environmentalist John Muir. John Muir was born in 1838 in Great Britain and lived most of his life in the United States. He was a strong advocate of national parks and has several geographical locations named after him including John Muir trail, John Muir Country Park and John Muir Wilderness.
