What is the meaning of the name Maha Maya ?

The baby name Maha Maya is a Female name , 4 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈmɑː.hə ˈmɑː.jə/ (MAH-hah MAH-yah).

Maha Maya is Sanskrit in Origin.

Maha Maya combines the Sanskrit elements mahā “great” and māyā “creative power, enchantment, illusion,” yielding “Great Māyā” or “the great enchantress.” As Mahāmāyā it is an epithet of the Goddess (Devi/Durga) in Hindu texts and the honorific name of the Buddha’s mother, Queen Māyādevī, anchoring the name in both Hindu and Buddhist lore. Usage appears across South Asia - especially India, Nepal, and Sri Lanka - and in the diaspora, sometimes chosen to invoke protective, world-fashioning feminine energy.

Common variants include Mahamaya, Maha-Maya, and the scholarly spelling Mahāmāyā; related honorifics are Mahamaya Devi and Māyādevī. The name can also be parsed in multicultural contexts as Arabic Maha (“oryx; bright-eyed, radiant”) plus Maya (Sanskrit “illusion,” or in other traditions “water” or linked to Maia), layering meanings such as “radiant Māyā” or “great creative illusion.” Short forms include Maya or Maha.
