📖 Acerca de Maurice
Maurice proviene del latín tardío Mauritius, que significa 'de piel oscura' o 'de origen moro.' Entró en la tradición cristiana a través de San Mauricio, un mártir del siglo III venerado en toda la Europa medieval, lo que lo convirtió en un nombre popular entre la nobleza y el clero. El francés Maurice, el inglés Morris, el italiano Maurizio y el alemán Moritz comparten esta raíz. Lo han llevado emperadores del Sacro Imperio Romano, compositores célebres, queridos autores y campeones deportivos.
