Welsh form of MAURICE. This was the name of a few early Welsh kings.

	MAURICE   male   English, French From the Roman name Mauritius, a derivative of MAURUS. Saint Maurice was a 3rd-century Roman soldier from Egypt. He and the other Christians in his legion were supposedly massacred on the orders of emperor Maximian for refusing to worship Roman gods. Thus, he is the patron saint of infantry soldiers. This name was borne by a 6th-century Byzantine emperor. Another notable bearer was Maurice of Nassau (called Maurits in Dutch), a 17th-century prince of Orange who helped establish the Dutch Republic. The name has been used in England since the Norman conquest, usually in the spelling Morris or Moris.
		MAURUS   male   Late Roman Latin name which meant "dark skinned". This was the name of numerous early saints, most notably a follower of Saint Benedict.
