Fir Morca, Fir Mhorc, Feramorc, Feramore, Fermore. Legendary people of early Ireland, whose king was Scoriath, conventionally described as big men who lived near Luachair Dedad in west Munster. O'Rahilly (1946) argues that the name ‘Fir Morca’ is a folk etymology from ‘Armorica’, the Latin name for Brittany.
