Maëlys

in Baby Names

This one is a French name find. I'm not considering it, I just figured I may as well post the names I come across now that I am living here in France for a little while.

Below is some background on the name, taken from Wikipedia. I still owe you all DD's new class list, although many of the kids at her school are not French...

Ma?lys is a French feminine name of Breton origin. It is the feminine form of the name Ma?l, meaning "chief" or "prince." The name Ma?l was popularized by a fifth century Breton saint Ma?l. The name is popular in France, where it has ranked in the top 50 names given to baby girls during the past five years. Ma?lle, another feminine form of the name Ma?l, is also popular in France and is ranked in the top 50 names for girls.

    I love this name! I went to France for a few weeks when I was 16 and stayed with a girl named Ma?lys. So pretty.

    Gorgeous! But DD is Marielle, so I'm partial to French names.
