What is the meaning of the name Mayuree ?

The baby name Mayuree is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced mah-YOO-ree (IPA: /ma.juː.riː/).

Mayuree is Thai in Origin.

Mayuree is a feminine given name used chiefly in Thailand, from Thai มยุรี (Mayuree), which in turn derives from Sanskrit Mayūrī, the feminine form of Mayūra, “peacock/peahen.” The name denotes the peahen and, by extension, evokes the bird’s associations across South and Southeast Asia: beauty, graceful movement, regal bearing, monsoon renewal, and auspicious protection. In Hindu lore the peacock is the vehicle (vāhana) of Kartikeya/Skanda, and the feather adorns Krishna, lending the name devotional resonance in Indic cultures.

As a personal name, Mayuree gained steady use in Thailand in the 20th century through the longstanding flow of Sanskrit–Pali vocabulary into Thai, and it appears across the Indian subcontinent in the cognate form Mayuri. Common variants and spellings include Mayuri and Mayoori; related masculine forms are Mayur, Mayoor, and Mayura. Nicknames such as Mayu occur. The Thai form is pronounced ma-yu-ree, with stress on the final syllable.
