Eight times, and once he calls Othello "his Moorship", a play on "His Worship". He also uses the word to talk about all African people: "These Moors are changeable in their wills."
But it's not as if other people don't call Othello "the Moor". Brabantio calls him that four times, and Roderigo twice. It is also used by those who are kindly disposed to him, including his own wife Desdemona twice and the Senator who calls him "valiant Moor" and later "brave Moor".
