Mayvis

Mayvis Origin and Meaning

The name Mayvis is a girl's name.

Mayvis appears to be a variant spelling of Mavis, a feminine name derived from the Old French word for the song thrush bird. The name carries nature associations and has a gentle, melodic quality. Mavis enjoyed modest popularity in English-speaking countries during the early 20th century before declining, while this Mayvis spelling variation remains extremely rare. The name has literary connections through works like Mavis Gallant and carries a vintage charm that appeals to those seeking names with a touch of nostalgia. The unusual 'y' spelling gives this version a distinctive quality while maintaining the same soft pronunciation. Mayvis combines old-fashioned appeal with uniqueness, making it stand out even among revived vintage names.
