Morè (Clan name)
The More is a Maratha clan. Members of the clan use it as their surname.[citation needed]
History
The More clan ruled the Jaoli State in the valley of Jawali, in Satara district near present-day Mahabaleshwar, as a feudatory of the Adilshahi. In 1656, under controversial circumstances, Shivaji, the founder of the Maratha empire, killed the ruler Chandrarao Morè, and seized the valley.[1][2]
