Moi Surname Meaning
User-submitted Reference
My last name, Moi, originated when my great grandfather, Arthur, immigrated to Canada and into the British system, which required last names. My grandfather was from a railroad town in Norway called Moi (its pronounced like boy with an 'm'). People often identified themselves by towns and didn't actually have last names. So when the British asked for his name, himself among other immigrating would say something like "I'm Arthur from the town of Moi". So the British marked him down as Arthur Moi.
