Mavas is in Origin.

Mavas is a rare modern given name with uncertain roots, most plausibly a contemporary blend or respelling influenced by Mavis and Maeve. Mavis comes through Middle/Old French mauvis, “song thrush,” adopted into English as a poetic bird-name; Maeve derives from Irish Gaelic Medb, traditionally glossed as “she who intoxicates” or “cause of great joy.” Mavas also resembles the international favorite Ava and the -as ending seen in names like Silas and Lucas, which may have shaped its sound. In some records, it appears near the Arabic surname Mawas, suggesting occasional surname-to-given-name crossover via transliteration.

Documented usage is very limited before the 21st century, and the name is generally treated as unisex. Variants and related forms include Mavis, Maeve, Mave, and the rarer Maves; short forms include Mav, Mavi, and Vas. Meaning follows the chosen root: “song thrush” (via Mavis) or “intoxicating/entrancing” (via Maeve).
