Meaning & origin
Mavie is a rare feminine name of modern English origin, likely a variant of Mavis, the name of a song thrush from Old French. First recorded in 1920, the name remained below the top 1000 for decades but has been steadily rising since 2016. In 2025, it reached rank 1548 with a 1-in-11818 incidence, with a peak rank of 1548 in 2024. The name is most common in Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Florida. Its gentle sound and bird association give it a fresh, nature-inspired feel, fitting contemporary naming trends that favor vintage revivals and soft, vowel-ending names.
Mavie likely emerged as a modern variant of Mavis, a name derived from the Old French 'mauvis,' referring to the song thrush bird. It may also be a respelling of Mayvie, a diminutive of May. The name appeared in the United States in the early 20th century but remained rare until a resurgence in the 2020s.
