Origine et histoire

A diminutive form of the Old French 'more', from Medieval Latin 'maurus', denoting a person of dark complexion or dark hair; the '-el' suffix is a diminutive common in Picard and Walloon dialects of northern France. Alternatively, it may derive from the Old French 'morel', a dark-colored horse or the morello cherry, used as a descriptive nickname.
