Moors is an archaic name given to the inhabitants of what is now Morocco and Algeria, most famously Othello, Shakespeare's 'Moor of Venice'.
In Great Britain, upland areas of uncultivated rough grazing, characterised by boggy terrain and abundance of ericaceous plants such as heather, are also known as moors.
