Maufitz is in Origin.

Maufitz is a modern, very rare given name likely built from two medieval elements: Mau-, from Latin Maurus via Maurice/Morris, and -fitz, the Norman French patronymic from filz/fils “son.” It echoes Anglo-Norman surnames such as FitzMaurice and FitzMorris. As a blend, its sense is “son or descendant of Maurice,” with the older Maurus meaning “Moorish; dark-complexioned,” lending an undertone of duskiness and resolve.

Documented use as a forename is minimal; the name surfaces in recent decades as a surname-style coinage prized for its crisp, aristocratic cadence. Variants and related forms include Mau-Fitz and the anglicized Maufitts, while cognates and structural relatives are Maurice, Morris, Maurits/Mauritz, Mauricio, Fitz, Fitzroy, and Fitzmaurice. Nicknames Mau and Fitz come naturally. Unisex in feel, Maufitz pairs medieval heritage with contemporary individuality.
