Moghiri

Moghiri, also sometimes spelled Mughiri or variants thereof, is a surname found primarily in Iran and other parts of the Middle East. It's often associated with families having roots in or connections to the Mughan region, a historical and geographical area located in present-day Azerbaijan and northwestern Iran.

The name likely originates as a toponymic surname, meaning it was derived from a place name. In this case, "Mughan" or a related variant served as the source. Individuals or families migrating from the Mughan region may have adopted the surname to indicate their origin.

While primarily a surname, "Moghiri" might also occasionally appear as a given name, though this is less common. Further research into genealogical records and historical documents would be necessary to determine the precise distribution and variations of the name's spelling and usage across different regions and time periods. The specific historical and cultural context of individual families bearing the name would provide a more nuanced understanding of its meaning and significance.
