Maurus: Name day

Name background

The masculine name Maurus originates from the Latin word meaning "dark-skinned" or "Moor," historically referring to people from the Roman province of Mauretania in North Africa. As an ancient Roman cognomen, it carries a strong, dignified, and deeply classical tone. In the contemporary USA, Maurus remains an exceptionally uncommon choice, often perceived as highly scholarly or historically elegant. Its mood is traditionally serious and formal, invoking images of antiquity rather than modern trends.
