Morrison is an English-language surname. The name is derived from a patronymic form of the English Morris. The personal name Morris sometimes is a variant of Maurice, and was quite popular in the Middle Ages. In Scotland the surname is sometimes also an Anglicised form of the Scottish Gaelic MacGilleMhuire, a surname meaning "son of the servant of (the Virgin) Mary". The Scottish surname Morrison is also sometimes an Anglicised form of the Irish O'Muirghesasain, meaning "descendant of Muirgheas". In Ireland the surname is sometimes an Anglicised form of the Irish Mac Muiris, a surname derived from the patronymic form of Muiris. The Irish personal name Muiris derives from the Gaelic adjective Mor or the Gaelic word Muir.
