Moricci would seem Tuscan, from Florence and Barberino Di Mugello (FI), Morici is typical of the central belt with a stock also in western Sicily, Morico is more of a Marche region with a stock in Lazio and one in Abruzzo, Moriggi has a Bergamo stock in Pagazzano, but it is significantly present throughout the province and in the Milan area, and has a stock in Rome, Moriggia, much rarer, is distributed in the same area, Moriggio is unique, Morigi is typically Romagna, from the provinces of Forlì and Ravenna, Morizzi is definitely Calabrese, it would seem specific of Oppido Mamertina in the Reggio area, they should all derive from the medieval name Moricus of which we have an example in the Fabriano in 1200 with Frater Moricus a monk of the hermitage of Grottafucile: "... Frater Martinus, Frater Moricus, Frater Christianus, his nominations and de Sancta Maria loci Eremi ordinis supradicti de Grotta fucilis ... ", we find traces of this surname in 1500 in Perugia where in the list of the students of l 1598 of the local University we find a Franciscus Moricus.
