Re: where does the surname Goris originate from???
Dutch, patronymic, meaning "George". Goris could be a surname in other languages, but I'm not aware of any others.

I agree with Jim Young. But this surname could be belgian as well.
It could be,according to Jean Tosti a variant of Gooris, coming from a first name like "Gregory" or an old german first name "Gaugerius"?
