History & Origin

Maurion reshapes Maurice and Mario, both from the Latin Maurus, 'dark-skinned' or 'Moorish', into a fresh -ion form. American parents in the early twenty-first century favored such endings for a modern, distinctive sound, and Maurion carries the classic meaning within that shape.

It has always been rare, cresting around 2004 without ever becoming common. A Maurion today is likely a young person, and the familiar Maurice and Mario remain far more common.

Did you know? Maurion surfaced around 2001 and stayed scarce, given to only a few dozen boys a year.
