Mayme is an English name for girls and a variant of Mamie. This sweet moniker is a diminutive of names like Mary and Margaret, which have diverse roots and meanings to explore. Mary derives from the Latin Maria, which in turn comes from the Hebrew and Egyptian Miriam. This name has a variety of possible meanings, including “bitterness,” “rebelliousness,” “wished for a child,” and “beloved.” From Margaret, Mayme is made iridescent with the meaning “pearl” from the Greek margarites. Mayme offers a cool alternative to these more traditional titles. It can also be used to honor a loved one in a way that still gives your child a name of their very own.
