While Murphy is primarily a surname of Irish origin, it is also used as a given name, including in Christian contexts. It is not specifically a Christian name, but it is a common name used by Christians and those of other or no religious affiliations. The name comes from the Irish surname Ó Murchadha, meaning "descendant of Murchadh," which itself is derived from the Gaelic name Murchadh, meaning "sea warrior".
