Meaning of Maya

Maya (مايا) is an Avestan (an ancient Persian language) name that means “graciousness”, “gracious nature”. Since this is a good meaning, Muslims can use it.

Maya can also be the name of a Roman goddess. This meaning is unacceptable in Islam because it is a pagan name. For this reason if you use the name Maya, you should use it for the Avestan meaning, not the Roman meaning.

    The name Maya is so nice see this وهذه معاني الاسم مايا: اسم مايا إلهة الربيع عند الرومان، وهي زوجة البركان. ومايا: اسم شعب من الهنود الحمر في أمريكا الوسطى، ولا سيما المكسيك. في الهند معناه: الغموض. في العبرية: الربيع. في الفارسية القديمة معناه: الشهامة، والقوة. وفي اليونانية معناه الأم. و وليس له معنى واحد فقط.
