Maevy
Maevy Origin and Meaning
Maevy is a contemporary feminine name that exudes whimsical charm. Likely evolved as a variant spelling of Maeve, the ancient Irish name meaning 'she who intoxicates,' Maevy adds a playful twist with its 'y' ending. This modern adaptation maintains the mythological connections of Maeve—the name of a legendary warrior queen in Irish folklore—while creating a more distinctive sound and appearance. The unique spelling gives the name a fresh, creative quality that appeals to parents seeking something familiar yet uncommon. Maevy has a gentle, sweet sound that contrasts interestingly with its strong warrior-queen heritage. While still relatively rare, the name fits well with trends toward both Irish names and reinvented classics with unique spellings.
