Boy
Murray
The name Murray carries the meaning "Scottish place name/clan name", with roots in Scottish. It had its heyday in the 1920s and has mostly fallen out of use since. Today, it is on the rarer side without being unusual in the registry. It has quietly persisted through most of the last century of American birth records.
