Lamorris is an uncommon and unique given name, derived from African American Vernacular English. It is believed to have originated as a blend of two names: LaMarr, which means "of the sea" in African American Vernacular English, and Morris, meaning "dark-skinned." The name Lamorris has been used predominantly within African American communities, reflecting a rich cultural heritage and personal identity. According to data from the U.S. Social Security Administration, its usage peaked in popularity during the late 1970s and early 1980s but remains relatively rare overall.
"The name Lamorris experienced a significant surge in popularity between the late 1970s and mid-1980s, with peaks of 13 births in 1979, 12 births in 1985, and another 12 in 1986. However, it seems to have declined since then, with fewer than 10 births per year from the late 1980s onwards, and only a handful of occurrences in the most recent years for which data is available."
