Mouro Surname Meaning

User-submitted Reference

This family name could be seen as a toponym from the Portuguese city of Moura, where there is the legend of the Moorish princess who fell in love with a Christian knight. The word Moor itself is used to refer to the north-African people who once conquered the Iberian peninsula. The term also exists in French as More, Maure, from the Latin Maurus (meaning a Mauritanian, an inhabitant of Mauritania), from the Ancient Greek Μαυρούσιος (Mauroúsios, 'Mauretanian'), which in turn refers to 'dark', as the invaders were seen as being dark-skinned. It's also related to the given names Mauro, Maurício, Mauritius.
