Meaning & origin

Murdis is an extremely rare feminine name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1914, with its peak usage occurring in 1934. The name's trajectory has been stable, but it has never achieved widespread popularity and is currently unranked. Its origins are uncertain, possibly deriving from the more familiar name Muriel or from the surname Murgatroyd. Due to its scarcity, Murdis has no recorded top states and lacks any notable famous bearers. It remains a highly uncommon choice, reflecting the creative naming practices of the early 20th century.

The name Murdis is rare and appears to be a 20th-century coinage, possibly an altered form of the name Muriel or a pet form of the surname Murgatroyd. Its precise derivation is unclear, and it has never seen widespread use.
