Mourice is an uncommon yet distinctive given name of French origin, derived from Maurice, which itself is derived from the Latin Mauritius. The name's history traces back to Saint Maurice, a 3rd-century Roman soldier who was one of the first Christian martyrs. In the Middle Ages, the name became popular among European royalty and nobility, with several kings named Maurice. Today, Mourice remains an uncommon choice, perhaps due to its unique spelling, but it continues to carry a certain regal elegance and historic significance.
"The name Mourice appears to have been most popular between 1922 and 1925, with five births each year. It then resurged in popularity from 1974 to 1983, with a total of eight births in 1974 alone, and five more over the following years. In total, there were 28 babies named Mourice born during this period."
