Etymology

From Middle English mulbery, molberye, murberie, partly from Old English mōrberġe (“mulberry”) (q.v.), and probably partly from Middle Low German mulbere (“mulberry”), ultimately from Proto-West Germanic *mūrubaʀi ~ *mōrubaʀi, from Latin mōrus + Proto-West Germanic *baʀi. Compare Dutch moerbezie, moerbei (“mulberry”), German Maulbeere (“mulberry”).

* A variant of Mowbray, altered by folk etymology.
* Reduced Anglicized form of Irish Ó Maoilbhearaigh (“descendant of the devotee of (Saint) Bearach”).

Webster’s 1913

  1. noun The berry or fruit of any tree of the genus Morus; also, the tree itself. See Morus.
  2. noun A dark pure color, like the hue of a black mulberry. Mulberry mass. (Biol.) See Morula.

Etymology [OE. moolbery, murberie, AS. murberie, where the first part is fr. L. morum mulberry; cf. Gr. Murrey, Sycamore.]
