History & Origin
Maurico is a variant of the Spanish Mauricio, from the Late Latin Mauritius, 'Moorish' or 'dark-skinned.' It is an inherited heritage name that entered US records among Hispanic families, and the shortened Maurico spelling is a minor variant, thin and clustered in the later twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.
It was never common in the United States, given to only about fifteen boys a year even at its peak around 2002. A boy named Maurico then is in his early twenties today.
