Mavis

专有名词

英文释义

专有名词
  1. A female given name from English.
    — "Rather an odd name, Mavis, isn't it?" I at last ventured to observe. "Yes, - but it suits her wonderfully. She sings quite as sweetly as any thrush, so she merits her designation."

词源

Coined at the end of the 19th century from mavis, a poetical name for the song thrush.
