History & Origin

Maevelynn is a modern compound. Maeve comes from the Irish Medb, queen of Connacht in the old stories, a name usually read as 'she who intoxicates' or 'she who rules.' Lynn comes from a Welsh word for a lake. Joining them is a recent American habit, and we describe the name as a compound rather than an inherited one (said 'MAYV-uh-lin').

It appears only rarely for girls in the U.S. Rare, compound, and strong-rooted.

Did you know? The Maeve inside Maevelynn is the Irish Medb — a queen of legend whose name is usually read as 'she who intoxicates,' a formidable thing to carry. The -lynn is a modern addition, and the compound is new.
