Etymology and names

The first written reference to Morschwiller's name was in 771 A.D., when it was called Moraswilari. Other historical names for the village include: Moresheim (840), Morinsheim (870), Morswilre (1372), Morsweyler (1666), and Morschweiler/Morschwiller by the 18th and 19th centuries.[4]

The willer/weiler (English: hamlet) suffix of Morschwiller comes from Middle High German wīler, from Old High German wīlāri, from Latin villa (“estate”).
