My mom was reading Greek mythology during her pregnancy and she liked the name. I think she told me Maya was one of the 7 water nymph sisters .... & maybe their Dad was Zeus .... not 100% sure on that. Sorry.

The fun strange fact is that after learning about the name Maya and origins and meanings &history of the name etc etc. .... I am very much connected... Like a soul connection. I learned about this in my early 30s ... &I was such a Maya at heart and soul!
