I was really surprised at the origin of this name. I've only encountered it among white French-speaking people and assumed it was just a variation on Maeve. I feel like the similarity has to have something to do with it. It's a cool name!

All the vowels just look randomly thrown in, they don't really fit.

Maeva is also used as a masculine name in Tahitian and French. However, it's more common for females. So, I think that the "Gender" of this name should be changed from "Feminine" to "Feminine & Masculine". Some evidence for this is that Maeva is also used as a name element in unisex and masculine Tahitian names, such as Maevarau.

One of my favourite girls name ever! I love the name Maeva! I think it’s beautiful! I love old names made more modern & this just kills that for me! Maeve is still very beautiful and could be used as a nickname! My friend has a tradition in her family - all girls names must start with the letter M - I hope she uses this name!

My sister up top's (who's half Samoan like me) name is Maeva and it's pronounced "ma -EH -va" . Like the EH is "e" in egg. I like this better than Maeve.

I really like how this name sounds and the meaning -- "welcome." It feels like if a parent gives child this name, they are welcoming their baby into the world.

Maeva is a great name. I love Maeve and Méabh, but they are so overused in Ireland. Maeva is a lot more unique, and it's a very beautiful name. Even nicer than Maeve, I must confess. I really like it. I think it would suit any sort of girl.

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.

Maeva is a wonderful alternative to the Irish name Maeve, which although is nice enough has an unwanted meaning of "intoxicating".

Actually, the Irish name is Meabh or Meadhbh (both pronounced MAYV). Maeve is just the anglicisation. You cannot call Maeve the Irish form, since "v", as a letter, and the diphthong "ae" does not exist in Irish.
