Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Mauricio je španielska podoba latinského mena Mauritius, doloženého aj v podobe Mauricius. Vychádza z mena Maurus, pôvodne označujúceho Maura, obyvateľa starovekej Mauretánie v severnej Afrike. Základný význam je zemepisný a etnický; zjednodušený výklad „tmavovlasý“ nevystihuje pôvodné pomenovanie presne.

Sources and scholarly methodology: Etymológia a tradícia: Real Academia Galega. Medzinárodné podoby: Behind the Name. Výslovnosť: SpanishDictionary. Skloňovanie je aplikáciou všeobecných pravidiel pre mužské mená na -o podľa Morfológie slovenského jazyka, sprístupnenej JÚĽŠ SAV, nie citáciou hesla Mauricio. Domácka podoba Mauri je doložená v štúdii španielskych hypokoristík. Štyri až sedem obľúbených slovenských zdrobnenín sa nepodarilo overiť, preto ich nedopĺňam umelo. Konkrétne heslo v monografii Milana Majtána nebolo priamo overené.
