It may also mean “Moorish,” which historically referred to the people and culture based in North Africa. For a water-inspired name, Morriss can also come from the Irish name Muirgheas, meaning “sea choice” or “sea valor.” If you can imagine baby sailing along the ocean toward their next adventure, Morriss can give waves of encouragement.
