Notes |
- Notice name change, from Moore to Morris, or, in some spellings show, Morres. Copied: The name Morris in Ireland is of Norman origin from the names de Maries and de Marisco. The name is also used interchangeably with Morrissey and Fitzmaurice. The main Sept bearing this name was originallly based in County Galway in the West of the country. A Sept is an English word for a division of a family, especially of a Scottish or Irish. The word may derive from the Latin saeptum, meaning "enclosure" or "fold", or via an alteration of "sect". The term is used in both Ireland and Scotland, where it may be translated as sliocht, meaning "progeny".
