Baby is sure to teach you a thing or two about parenting, so let her name be a nod to her importance. Maja, a Greek name, means "mother" and is an alternate form of Maia. In Greek mythology, Maia was a beautiful nymph and mother of Hermes, the messenger god. In Roman mythology, meanwhile, Maya was a goddess of spring who inspired the name of the month of May.
