Mayya

Mayya is a feminine given name used in multiple cultures. The spelling Mayya is one transliteration choice among others for names such as Maya or Maja, reflecting pronunciation differences across languages and regions. Because it crosses linguistic boundaries, the name Mayya can have different origins and meanings depending on the cultural context.

In South Asian contexts, related forms like Maya (or Māyā) carry meanings linked to concepts such as illusion or enchantment, and they are used as given names in several languages. In other cultural settings, Mayya may simply be a phonetic variant of Maya, a name with diverse origins in Hebrew, Greek, Sanskrit, and other traditions. The form Mayya is also found in transliterations from Arabic and Turkic languages, again often reflecting pronunciation rather than a single fixed meaning.

As a personal name, Mayya is typically used for girls and functions as a standalone given name rather than a surname. Its usage varies by region and language and there is no single, universally documented origin. The name may appear in literature, media, and everyday life as part of broader multicultural naming practices.
