According to Ó Corráin & Maguire, Maol Mhuire (earlier Máel Muire) is the only case of compound with Máel/Maol name that was used for boys and for girls ("Máel Muire occurs frequently as a girl's name.", p. 130). Since they are exhaustive with their data and mark as "m and f." or "f and m." any name documented in both genders, even a single time, if the rest of Máel/Maol names are marked as "m.", that is that they were exclusively masculine and Máel Muire/Maol Mhuire is an exception.
