Last name origins & meanings:
- English: habitational name from any of the places called Oare
in Berkshire, Kent, and Wiltshire, or Ore in East Sussex, all named
with Old English ōra ‘shore’, ‘hill-slope’, ‘flat-topped
ridge’. It may also be a topographic name from the same element,
though Reaney and Wilson consider that in general this would have had
an initial N-. Compare Noah 2.
- Scottish: possibly from the Sussex place name.
