Maya is a very nice name, in my opinion. It sounds so soft and gentle and has a beautiful feminine charm. I like the length, pronunciation, what not. I think the meaning “water” is really wonderful as well, since water could symbolize many things, such as purity, cleansing, new hope, etc. Overall, I think Maya is a lovely name.

A lot of Israelis called Maya spell it מאיה, with the added aleph. This denotes that is it not a traditional Hebrew name nor a Hebrew word. It's common in the secular Jewish community in Israel.

There is a modern interpretation of the name as an acronym to the Yom Kippur War. Written in Hebrew it would be Mem-Yod-Heh (Milhemet Yom Hakippurim) as opposed to the usual Mem-Aleph-Yod-Heh. The English transcipt, I suppose, would stay the same. Many modern day Jewish Mayas carry this intended patriotic meaning (and spelling) of the name.
