Moss Family History

Moss Genealogy & Family Tree

Moss is an English name from Lancashire, England, where the family was granted a seat by Duke William for their assistance in the Battle of Hastings. It comes from the Old English word mos which means “peat bog” and referred to someone who lived near such a landmark. Alternately, it may be a derivative of the Hebrew name Moses. Roots for the name can also be found in Hebrew. The family motto is En la rose je fleurie which means “I flourish in the rose.”

Other spellings include “Mos” and “Mosse.” Notable people with the surname include American actress Elisabeth Moss (Mad Men, On the Road, Girl, Interrupted), American football player Randy Moss (Minnesota Vikings, Oakland Raiders, New England Patriots), American music producer Jerry Moss (co-founder of A&M Records), Canadian actress Carrie-Anne Moss (The Matrix, Memento, Chocolat), and British fashion model Kate Moss. The first Moss to come to America was Richard Moss in Virginia in 1635.
