MAIRI  

Gender: F
Origin: Scottish variation of MARY
Meaning: "bitter"

Why does Mairi seem so much cooler than Mary? The pronunciation may be MAH-ree but you'll get so many confusing interpretations you may end up wishing you'd stuck with the original.

Mairi is being discussed in our message boards:

• Our 3rd Baby Girl - in need of unusual name
• Very long name game! 10 kids!
• Alaska or Saskia?
• my husband's NEW list - narrowed down!
• Update on the twins!
