Maire
Irish origin
“An Irish form of Mary, derived from the Latin Maria, traditionally meaning 'of the sea' or 'beloved.' Maire carries the weight of Irish heritage and Marian devotion while feeling distinctly contemporary in its simplicity. It's a name that honors Celtic tradition without the length of fuller forms, appealing to parents seeking authentic Irish roots.”
