Mavie is a modern, predominantly feminine name with layered roots. In Francophone contexts it echoes the affectionate phrase ma vie (“my life”), sometimes elevated from term of endearment to given name; Austrian actress Mavie Hörbiger helped bring it wider notice. In English use it also reads as a blended diminutive - Mae/May + Evie - or a pet form adjacent to Maeve (Irish Méabh, “she who intoxicates”) and Mavis (from Old French mauvis, “song thrush”). Pronunciations vary, commonly MAH-vee or MAY-vee.

Usage has been rare historically, with modest upticks since the 2000s in Europe and North America as parents seek light, vowel-rich names. Meanings depend on the chosen lineage: “my life” in the French-inspired sense; “she who intoxicates” via Maeve; or “song thrush” via Mavis. Variants and relatives include Mavi, MaVie, Maeva, Maeve, Mavis, Avie, and Evie; short forms include Mave and Vie.
