ArchivesRe: Thank you
in reply to a message by Mavine E. Wrbanich
Thank you for the nice comments about this place! Our host, Mike C., will be pleased, I'm sure -- as well as everybody here who try to get people's name questions answered. :)
Perhaps your name of "Mavine" is a form of "Mavis", an old name for the "song thrush" and perhaps first used as a person's name in a novel by Victorian "Violet Books" author Marie Corelli. The book in which the character Mavis Clair appears was published in 1895 and titled: *The Sorrows of Satan*. This was the second novel in Marie Corelli's occult trilogy.
Alternately, your name might be a variation of the Celtic names "Mave", "Meave", or "Mavis", which mean "mirthful joy".

While on the subject of Marie Corelli, her choice of the name Mavis Clare for the character in the novel mentioned provoked her critics to see Mavis as a self-portrait, as they thought the initials MC corresponded perfectly to those of the authoress. Do consider other such names in Corelli's novels, especially those of the Chaldean characters she keeps introducing in them, such as Heliobas, Prince Lucio Rimanez in The Sorrows of Satan (Lucio , light, Rimanez, Ahriman), etc.
