Meuric is Welsh in Origin.

Meuric is a Welsh given name ultimately derived from Latin Mauricius, from Maurus meaning ‘dark-skinned’ or ‘Moorish.’ Brought to Britain by Norman French as Maurice, it took a Welsh shape as Meurig; Meuric preserves a medieval spelling often seen in charters and later anglicized toward Merrick. Welsh variants include Meurig (now standard) and Meirig; related or anglicized forms are Meyrick and Merrick. Cognates include Maurice and Morris in English, Moritz in German, and Mauricio/Maurizio in Spanish and Italian.

The name is well attested in medieval Wales, with figures such as Meurig ap Tewdrig, a ruler of Gwent and Glywysing, and with ecclesiastical bearers recorded in Latin as Mauricius. It later gave rise to Welsh families surnamed Meyrick. In modern use Meuric is rare, with Meurig more familiar in Wales, yet the name links a child to deep Welsh heritage and a broad European naming tradition.
