Maurizia

Woven with Italian charm, Maurizia is a girl’s name that can be traced back to Roman, Latin, and Greek roots. Maurizia, the feminine version of Maurizio, comes from the Roman name Mauritius, which derives from the Latin and Greek Maurus. First used by the Romans to describe those living in the Roman province of Mauretania, Maurus means “North African,” “Moorish,” or “dark-skinned.” If you simply love the melodious and beautiful sounds of Italian monikers, Maurizia fits the bill. Equally, it can be a wonderful ode to generations past, no matter their heritage.
