Mauri is Latin in Origin.
Mauri is a masculine given name chiefly in Finland, the Finnish form of Latin Maurus/Mauritius, meaning “a Moor,” “man from Mauretania,” hence “dark‑complexioned.” In Spanish it also serves as a friendly short form of Mauricio, and in Italian can abbreviate Maurizio. The spelling coincides with the Māori noun mauri, “life force” or “vital essence”; that is a separate origin sometimes influencing modern New Zealand usage.
The name spread via the cult of Saint Maurice (Latin Mauritius), a 3rd‑century martyr whose veneration popularized the Maurice family across Europe. In Finland, Mauri appears in records from the 19th century and has a name day on 22 September. Related forms include Maurice, Morris, Maurits/Mauritz, Maurizio, Mauricio, Mauro, and Maurus; diminutives and pet forms include Mauri, Maury, and Mau.
