Morisa is a feminine name with French and Irish roots. Possibly a variant of Morris or Maurice, it can translate to “Moor,” “dark,” or “swarthy,” making it a great choice to celebrate baby’s inherited dark features. It may also come from the Irish last name Ó Muirgheasa and the first name Muirgheas, meaning “sea choice.” Whether you want to celebrate baby’s natural beauty or their connection to the sea, Morisa can do the job.
