Maurion is a unique and distinctive given name of Latin origin, derived from the Roman family name 'Mauresius'. It is composed of two elements: 'maurus', meaning 'dark' or 'swarthy', and '-on', a suffix often used to form personal names. Therefore, Maurion can be interpreted as 'of dark complexion'. The name gained popularity during the Middle Ages due to its association with Saint Maurus, a companion of Saint Benedict and the founder of the Benedictine Order. However, it has remained relatively rare throughout history, lending it an air of exclusivity and originality today.
The name Maurion experienced varied popularity over the years, with a notable peak in 2004 when there were 37 births. However, it appears that its usage has significantly declined since then, with fewer than 10 births per year from 2009 onwards, and consistently low numbers, often around 5-6 births, from 2014 to the most recent data available in 2023.
