Moroder

Moroder's household crest

Moroder is a germanised version of the Ladin surname Mureda.

Moroder ([moˈrodɐr]) is a surname from Val Gardena (province of Bolzano), present almost exclusively in Ortisei. The migrations, which began as early as the eighteenth century, within a vast network of trade operated by the inhabitants of Val Gardena, have also distributed the surname elsewhere in Italy (Bolzano, Ancona, Pordenone) and abroad in Valencia and Lyon, and subsequently in Austria, Germany, Santiago de Chile, and the United States.

The Moroders of Ortisei, of which there are several branches distinct from the "farm" or "house of origin" (Costamula, Lenert, Lusenberg, Resciesa, Doss, Cialian), are traditionally known as a family of wood carvers.
