Maurice means "Moorish, dark, swarthy"; and from Maurus meaning "a Moor". A moor was a member of a Muslim people of mixed Berber and Arab descent, now living chiefly in northwest Africa. One of the Muslims who invaded Spain in the 8th century and established a civilization in Andalusia that lasted until the late 15th century. While Maurice was the learned form, other variations proliferated, namely Marus, Morice, Morrice, Morys, Moreys, and the most common Morris. as we can see Maurice means: with a lot of melanin and descendand of violent people!
