Morrice
m(o)-rri-ce
Origin:Latin
Meaning:North African; Dark-skinned; Moor, Moorish
A throwback to the Medieval Ages, Morrice is a variant of Maurice that popped up during the era of knights, fairytales, and the Renaissance. It stems from the Latin and Greek Maurus, which the Romans gave to people from the North African region of Mauretania. Meaning “North African,” “dark-skinned,” “Moor,” and “Moorish,” Morrice doesn’t shy away from flaunting features and honoring ancestry. Maurus was borne by several saints throughout the centuries, giving Morrice a subtle faithful touch.
