History & Origin

Maevrie is a modern coinage built on Maeve. Maeve is the anglicised form of the Old Irish Medb, borne by the warrior queen of Connacht who drives the great cattle raid of the Ulster Cycle; the name is generally read as 'she who intoxicates.' The -rie ending on Maevrie is a modern addition in the style of Emery and Avery, so the full name is recent even though its first element is ancient, and we say so honestly (said 'MAYV-ree').

It appears only in very small numbers in the U.S. Rare, soft, and newly emerging.

Did you know? Maeve comes from Medb, the fierce queen of Connacht in Irish legend whose name is usually read as 'she who intoxicates' - a formidable ancestor for a soft modern coinage.
