Unlikely, because Morea, well before the Venetians. is mentioned as the name of a small bishopric in Elis during the 10th century. This is during the re-christianization period of the peninsula. Consider also that is precisely Elis region exclusively Slavic at the time, so more plausible that the term comes from the word More - sea.

Very interesting, thank you.
Recently, there was some discussion about Slavs in Thessaly. I will soon be posting medieval (new for me) references of Slavs (Bulgarians in the texts) in Thessaly - perhaps in a different thread.
