Mavra

Mavra is a feminine name and a Greek variant of Maura or Mary. Like Maura, Mavra stems from Maurus, a Latin title that translates to "North African" or "Moorish." Historically, these terms may have described the North African Moor people, though your Mavra will learn to treat everyone with kindness regardless of where they come from. Mary connects Mavra to the Hebrew Miryam and its many meanings! From "sea of bitterness" and "rebelliousness" to "wished-for child" and "beloved," Mary's definitions could encourage your child to make bold and brave moves even in the face of turbulent seas.
