/moˈre (Hebrew), ˈmɔreɪ (common alternative pronunciation among US Jews/ = teacher, instructor (male; feminine inflection is "morah")

(also Amsellem, Amshalem, etc) = Sephardic Jewish surname. Etymology is murky (though I have a new resource on the way which may clear this up for me, stay tuned): possibly from Hebrew am + shalem (= "people/nation + whole/complete", i.e. "united people");
