Moroder (German pronunciation: [mɔˈʁoːdɐ]) is a germanised version of the Ladin surname Mureda.
Originally a surname from Val Gardena, South Tyrol (present almost exclusively in Ortisei), since the 18th century traders migrating from Val Gardena have also distributed the surname elsewhere in Italy (Bolzano, Ancona, Pordenone) and abroad in Valencia and Lyon, and subsequently in Austria, Germany, Santiago de Chile, and the United States.
The Moroders of Ortisei, of which there are several branches distinct from the "farm" or "house of origin" (Costamula, Lenert, Lusenberg, Resciesa, Doss, Cialian), are traditionally known as a family of wood carvers.
