Moone Family CrestThe English surname Moone, also found in Ireland, is an habitational name from Moyon in La Manche, named from the Gallo-Roman personal name Modius (from Latin modus meaning “measure”.) When found in Ireland the name Moone is an anglicized form of the Gaelic name  Ó Mocháin. The first name holder was one William de Moion, a close follower of Duke William of Normandy, and one who after the famlous Conquest of 1066, was granted various estates in the county of Dorset. Other early examples of the surname from this source include: Reginald de Moyn of Somerset in 1239, and William de Mohun of Wiltshire, in 1272. William Moon settled in Virginia in 1637 and today there are approximately 650 bearers of the name Moone living in the United States.
