However, we can guess at similar spellings. For example, Morat is a simpler version, leaving out the "oo". Moret is another possibility, a slight change in the vowel sound. Murrat is less likely, but still possible, a small change at the beginning. These are just ideas, of course. Whether these variations actually exist depends on where this surname was used and how records were kept.
