Maite

Maite is a Spanish feminine name that is a form of the name Mary. It is derived from the Hebrew name Miryam, which has two possible meanings: 'bitter' or 'beloved'.

The name Mary is one of the most popular and widely used names in the Christian tradition, as it is the name of the mother of Jesus Christ in the New Testament. The name has been widely adopted and adapted in various languages and cultures around the world.

In Spanish, the name Mary is often spelled as María, and Maite is a diminutive or pet form of this name. It is a popular name in Spain and other Spanish-speaking countries, particularly in the Basque region.

While the name Maite may have a religious connotation for some, it is also widely used as a secular name and is appreciated for its musical sound and cultural significance in the Spanish-speaking world.
