Since my last name is Maeva it does have a lasting impression. The name was given to me by my father, and his father was from American Samoa, which seems to be a large family in the islands. The e is silent and is actually pronounced more with an long a sound Ma'ava, something do do with the actual vowels recognized in their alphabete.
-- skikidd 2/2/2008It's pronounced MAH ay vah (spelled Maéva, with an accent).
-- Lilia Nigra 3/8/2008My name is Maeva and I'm half Samoan so my name is pronounced like this-mah-EH-va. But everyone just calls me mayva because they cannot pronounce it.So it seems that it's mah-AY-vuh. And Eos does make a cool middle name. I'm not sure what to pair with it as a first.
