National Maya Day is annually observed on April 12. The day is dedicated to the Maya people, whose name can be traced back to multiple cultures and civilizations. Maya has never been a prevalent name, but it has always been popular. We believe the term originated in India. But it may have also evolved independently of other cultures. Maya in Sanskrit signifies dreams or illusions. It is a very old name, and we are about to learn a great deal about this remarkable name and its bearers.
What could the significance of all our visions be? Is our reality a mirage? We cannot be certain. However, we do know that the Indians used the term ‘Maya’ in such circumstances. Maya signifies illusions and dreams. Maya is derived from Sanskrit, and various other cultures also claim it. However, the earliest usage dates back to Sanskrit. Sanskrit is also one of the world’s earliest surviving languages. Maya is also the name of a Hindu deity. Some believe she is an incarnation of Goddess Lakshmi, while others believe she is the Goddess of illusions.
The name is also used in Greek, Spanish, Hebrew, Roman, and a few other languages. No matter the culture, only the term ‘females’ is employed. The Greek meaning of the name is ‘excellent mother.’ Maya also played an important role in Greek mythology. In Hebrew, the term means water. Mayan is also used to refer to the ancient civilization that once flourished on the North American continent.
Prior to the 1980s, people with the surname Maya were not particularly prominent. According to data from the Social Security Administration, this is the 61st most prevalent girl’s name in the United States. Maya Angelou, an American poet and author, popularised the name. This ancient appellation has survived into the present day. The name’s simplicity and cultural significance contributed to its continued popularity in modern times.
