- May 2003 — Moran (French) (Name) (tartans-authority, record)
From Geoffrey (Tailor) Highland Crafts for someone named Moran. The original name on the STWR website included the word 'ubique' which was said to be French and indicated that it could be worn by Morans anywhere. This is possibly an error for 'ubiquit?' which means ubuquitous. - undated — Moran (French) (register-of-tartans, record)
