"Variant of Maurice"
The name Mauricia is commonly a female name from the "Greek" origin.
Mauricia is the feminine form of Maurice, from Late Latin Mauritius, a derivative of Maurus, the Latin term for a Moor. The masculine Mauricio is the usual Spanish form, and Mauricia follows the same pattern of a feminine ending on that root.
Maurice means "Moor, dark skinned".
The pronunciation of Mauricia is maw-RISH-uh.
