In the Finnish tradition the name is semantically opaque unless tied to Maria ("beloved; wished-for child"), while the Estonian etymology carries the affectionate sense "little one." Related forms include Estonian Maimu and Maime, and Finnish Maija, Maiju, and Maikki; short forms Mai and Mimi are also used. Usage today is rare but recognizable in all three traditions.
