This name has been used infrequently throughout history but has seen a slight uptick in usage in recent decades, making it somewhat unusual but not entirely unheard of. It's often associated with the Scottish surname Morris, but as a first name, Morriss offers a unique and captivating choice.
"The name Morris was quite popular in 1918, with five babies being named Morriss that year."
