Mayalina

US Popularity Rank: None

Origin: Sanskrit

Meaning: Magic, illusion; Mother

Mayalina is a modern, feminine name and is directly linked to the Sanskrit name Maya. Your little one can help dispel the "illusion" that babies are a miracle by showing you that they are indeed "magic." However, it's not all about sleight of hand, releasing feathers from sleeves, or cutting large rectangular boxes in half. Maya also has roots in Greek and Roman, thanks to the Goddess Maia, and maintains the meaning of "mother." Your magical little friend will have the characteristics of a baby but all the inherent qualities to grow up to be a wonderful parent.
