📖 Sobre Maureen
Maureen é a forma anglicizada de Máirín, o diminutivo irlandês de Máire (Maria), derivado do hebraico Miriam — com o significado de 'amada' ou 'filha desejada.' O sufixo -ín é um termo carinhoso: 'pequena Maria.' O nome se espalhou pelo mundo de língua inglesa através da emigração irlandesa, atingindo seu pico na Austrália no início dos anos 1950 (posição 31 em 1952) antes de declinar. Hoje evoca o charme do meio do século XX e a herança irlandesa.
