About Maurie
Maurie is a masculine name that functions as a diminutive form of Maurice, which derives from the Latin name Mauritius, meaning 'dark-skinned' or 'Moorish.' With its friendly -ie ending, Maurie offers a more casual, approachable alternative to the more formal Maurice. The name saw modest popularity in the early to mid-20th century, particularly in Australia and among Jewish communities. It has a vintage charm that aligns with the revival of other classic diminutive names. Maurie balances traditional substance with friendly informality, making it appealing to parents drawn to names with historical roots but a more relaxed, unpretentious feel.
Maurie is also given to girls.
Pronounced MOR-ee.
As of October 2026, Maurie ranked #17528 in US births in 2017 SSA, peaked at #3281 in 1948.
