magoar

Magoar is a toponym that may refer to more than one subject. The most documented use is as the name of a small rural commune in the Brittany region of northwestern France. As a commune, Magoar denotes a local administrative entity that covers a compact area with agricultural land, small hamlets, and residences. Like other French communes, it is governed by a mayor and a municipal council and is typically part of a larger intercommunal structure that coordinates shared services.

In addition to its geographic use, Magoar is also found as a surname in some families of Breton or French origin. As a surname, it may be carried by individuals with ancestral ties to Brittany or its diaspora.

Etymology and language: The toponym is of Breton origin, reflecting Brittany’s distinct linguistic and cultural heritage. The precise historical development of the name is not universally documented in readily available sources.

Notes: Magoar is one of several Breton toponyms that survive in modern administrative geography and in family names. The term’s primary recognition today arises from its association with the Breton landscape and regional naming traditions.
