History & Origin
Demorris is one of many names formed by adding the fashionable De- opening to a familiar base, here the steady Morris. It appeared only lightly in the record, reaching a small high around 1987.
The name was never common, given to only about twenty boys a year at most, and its run soon tapered. A boy named Demorris at that peak would be approaching forty today. It reads as a warm, inventive choice of its era with a firm three-beat step.
