Meaning & origin

Maurisio is an uncommon spelling variant of Mauricio, a name with roots in Latin Mauritius. Though it has never ranked in the top 1000 in the U.S., it reached a peak in usage in 2003. The name first appeared in Social Security records in 1974 and has maintained a stable trajectory since then. Its rarity makes it a distinctive choice, and the spelling with an 's' rather than a 'c' sets it apart from the more familiar Mauricio.

Maurisio is a rare spelling variant of Mauricio or Maurício, the Spanish and Portuguese forms of Maurice. Maurice derives from the Latin name Mauritius, meaning 'Moorish' or 'dark-skinned', from Maurus. The name has been used in Iberian cultures since medieval times, though this specific spelling is very uncommon.
