📖 Acerca de Maureen
Maureen es la forma anglificada de Máirín, el diminutivo irlandés de Máire (María), derivado del hebreo Miriam, que significa 'amada' o 'niña deseada.' El sufijo -ín es un término de cariño: 'pequeña María.' El nombre se extendió por el mundo angloparlante con la emigración irlandesa, alcanzando su auge en Australia a principios de los años 50 (puesto 31 en 1952) antes de declinar. Hoy evoca el encanto de mediados del siglo XX y la herencia irlandesa.
