Moray eels are named after the Latin word "muraena," which refers to a genus of eels in the family Muraenidae. The term "moray" likely derives from the Greek word "moura," meaning "eel." These eels are characterized by their elongated bodies and are commonly found in tropical and temperate oceans, often residing in crevices and reefs. Their unique appearance and behavior have contributed to their distinct naming in marine Biology.
