Meaning & History

Modern instances of this name may be misspellings of Maria or Moira. In the case of the character in Ben Jonson's satirical play Cynthia's Revels (1600), who 'talks anything of anything', it was probably intended to be a feminine derivative of Greek μωρός (moros) meaning "simpleton".
