Mooris Coat of Arms and Surname Origin

Many Mooris families will find their roots under Morris, the form most records use. At root, the name means “From Maurice, "dark"”. Mooris writes “o” in place of the “r” found in Morris, a common scribal difference. Census takers and immigration officers often wrote what they heard. You may also find the name written Moris, Morice and Morrice.

Mooris sounds close to Morais and Morrisy, so it can help to search both.
