Maurille is French in Origin.
Maurille is the French form of Latin Maurilius, derived from Maurus ("a Moor; dark-skinned; from Mauretania") plus the nominal suffix -ilius, giving the sense "Moorish" or "of Mauretania." Used chiefly as a masculine given name in medieval and early modern France, it gained currency through the cult of Saint Maurille (Maurilius), a 5th-century bishop of Angers whose name appears in western French hagiographies and place-names.
The name remains uncommon today, seen in older parish registers in France and French Canada, and revived occasionally in Catholic families. Variants and cognates include Maurilius (Latin), Maurilio (Italian, Spanish), Maurílio (Portuguese); French variants include Maurile and the clipped Mauril (notably in Quebec). Related but distinct are Maurice (French/English) and Mauricio, which come from Mauritius rather than Maurus. Rare feminine counterparts exist; Maurelle is sometimes cited as a later French feminine elaboration.
