Morrison is a boy's name of English origin that emerged from names like Morris and Maurice. This quirky new form means "son of Maurice," or “dark” and “swarthy,” from the Latin Maurus. If you fancy yourself an expert on all things music-related, you'll probably think of The Doors' Jim Morrison and “Brown Eyed Girl” singer Van Morrison, with their soulful rock tunes.

(Smashing of the guitar is not necessary, but it is admirable.)
