📖 À propos Maureen
Maureen est la forme anglicisée de Máirín, le diminutif irlandais de Máire (Marie), lui-même issu de l'hébreu Miriam, signifiant 'bien-aimée' ou 'enfant désirée.' Le suffixe -ín est un terme affectueux : 'petite Marie.' Le prénom s'est répandu dans le monde anglophone par l'émigration irlandaise, atteignant son apogée en Australie au début des années 1950 (rang 31 en 1952) avant de décliner. Aujourd'hui, il évoque le charme des années cinquante et l'héritage irlandais.
