Morris Genealogy & History

Morris has several beginnings. In Ireland it stems from de Moir�is as De Mareys, De Marreis, O'Muiris, Morissey, and others, all meaning "of the marsh". It also derives from the French personal name Maurice, which means "from Mauritius" (Maurus). In Germany we find it as Moritz. Mauricius de Edligtona is the first recording of the name in 1176 in London. Morris family history notes that Richard Morris served under Cromwell, then became a merchant in Barbados, and then bought land in what became the Bronx. Morris genealogy includes Rhodes Scholar William Weeks Morris, novelist Mary McGarry Morris, and Welsh poet Sir Lewis Morris, knighted by Queen Victoria.
