You are right in thinking it came from "Morris Garages" (the Morris dealership that started to produce their own Morris based sports cars), but Cecil Kimber (the managing director until the early 1940's and founder of M.G.) strongly refuted that the initials "stood for" anything. His point was that it didn't matter where the initials came from or what they originally meant but they were their own brand and name, in their own right by the time he made the statement, their origin being of little consequence. In his opinion they no longer had any acronymic meaning. I feel this is true with almost all initials on any product now including the MZ-S.
