Best Answer

it's a welsh name as the Morris family used to own most of Wales trust me, my last name is Morris and my family has looked up the name history

my name is Morris to

Another Answer:It can be Irish. It might be English, as well. But as far as Ireland goes:

1. used as a form of O'Morrissey, or O'Morris for short (Sligo)

2. a shortened form of Fitzmaurice (Kerry)

3. a Norman family first called de Marreis, later MacMorris (Galway) perhaps the largest number.

No, the origins of the proud and noble ancient Scottish Morrison family lie with the Viking settlers. Earliest records are on the Isle of Lewis.

Family motto: "Castle Eistein!"
