Moarn and Mourn were listed as variants of Moran in "Varieties and Synonymes of Surnames and Christian Names in Ireland " by Robert E. Matheson, published 1901. Matheson was Registrar General of Ireland. The book is available to read as a pdf on the Internet Archive. https://archive.org

Names and variants in the Matheson book were compiled from civil registration records. He relates a man writing 2 versions of his family surname when registering his brother's death. Asked about the spelling variation he explained that he always used one whereas his brother had favoured a different spelling.

Sounds completely logical to me but then ........might be that Irish heritage. Ha ha  Would be one of those inadvertent genealogical finds like the husband (widower) who completed the wife's section about years married, children born and children living in the census.
