Mavie Origin and Meaning
The name Mavie is a girl's name meaning "my life; bird song; intoxicating".
Mavie is cute as can be, and feels stylish today thanks to similar-sounding Maeve. A fairly recently invented name, it was used first in Germany, where it is alleged to be inspired by the French phrase ma vie meaning "my life".
Alternatively, it could have derived from vintage Mavis, meaning "bird song" while more recent usage is likely owing to the rise of Irish Maeve, meaning "intoxicating". There's also the Spanish Mavi to take into account, a contracted form of María Victoria.
Soccer star Neymar Jr. and girlfriend Bruna Biancardi named their daughter Mavie in 2023, which might have helped it to becoming one of the fastest rising names in 2024 when it was given to 234 babies, compared to 25 the previous year.
