Murdag is a Scottish Gaelic feminine given name, the counterpart to the masculine form Murdo. It is derived from Murchadh, an Old Irish name meaning "sea battle" (from elements muir "sea" and cath "battle"), with the addition of the diminutive suffix -ag. The name is also Anglicized as Murdina. Historically, Murchadh was borne by several medieval Irish chieftains and kings, and the name remained in use in Gaelic-speaking parts of Scotland as a feminine form. The pronunciation of Murdag, [ˈmuːrˠt̪ak], suggests it is sometimes spelled Mùrdag to reflect the elongated vowel. The name follows a traditional pattern in Scottish Gaelic where adding -ag creates a feminine form (e.g., Murchadh → Murdag). Notable bearers of the historical name include figures recorded in Scottish clan histories, though records of Murdag are less extensive than those of its masculine relatives.
