Mave

Meaning of Mave

The name Mave is a charming and modern variation of the traditional Irish name Maeve. Pronounced as "mayv" (/meɪv/), this name exudes a sense of grace and simplicity while retaining a touch of Celtic mystique. Maeve, its more common counterpart, means "she who intoxicates" in Gaelic, often associated with the legendary Queen Maeve of Connacht from Irish mythology, known for her beauty and strength. Although Mave is relatively rare in the United States, with occurrences fluctuating modestly over recent years—peaking at 10 newborns in 2021—it remains an elegant choice for parents seeking a unique yet culturally rich name for their daughter.
