📖 Sobre Maurice
Maurice vem do latim tardio Mauritius, significando 'de pele escura' ou 'de origem moura.' O nome entrou na tradição cristã através de São Maurício, um mártir do século III venerado por toda a Europa medieval, tornando-se popular entre a nobreza e o clero. O francês Maurice, o inglês Morris, o italiano Maurizio e o alemão Moritz compartilham esta raiz. Imperadores do Sacro Império Romano, compositores famosos, escritores amados e campeões esportivos carregaram este nome.
