- Mavis abstract "Mavis is a female name. Its usage was initiated by Marie Corelli's 1895 novel The Sorrows of Satan1 which featured a character named Mavis Clare whose first name is said to be "rather odd" but suitable for Miss Clare as "she sings quite as sweetly as any thrush". Corelli patently was utilizing the common noun mavis2 which refers to the song thrush and was long obsolete by the 19th century but known from its poetic use as in Robert Burns's Ca' the Yowes ("Hark the mavis evening sang/Sounding Clouden's woods amang") written in 1794; also the popular love song "Mary of Argyle", written circa 1850 by lyricist Charles Jefferys features the line: "I have heard the mavis singing its love-song to the morn."Mavis had its height of popularity between the 1920s and 1940s. Its usage declined thereafter, and the name has become rather unfashionable since the 1960s.1The British politician Mavis Tate was born in 1893 but only assumed the first name "Mavis" as an adult, her actual first name of birth being Maybird.2Old French mauvisNotable persons with the first name Mavis include: Mavis Adjei, Ghanaian actress Mavis Doering (1929–2007), Cherokee Nation basketweaver Mavis Fan (b. 1977), Taiwanese singer Mavis Freeman (1918–1988, American swimmer who competed in the 1936 Olympic Games Mavis Gallant (b. 1922), Canadian writer Mavis Gray née Beckett (b. 1944), Australian sportswoman Mavis Hee (b. 1974), Singaporean singer Mavis Hutchinson, first woman to run across the United States Mavis Jukes (b. 1947), American children's author Mavis Leno (b. 1956), American feminist and wife of Jay Leno Mavis Nicholson (b. 1930), Welsh broadcaster Mavis Pugh (1914–2006), British actress and comedian Mavis Smitheman, local body councillor for Ardwick, Manchester Mavis Staples (b. 1939), American rhythm and blues singer Mavis Stevens, (b. 1959) Georgia Folk Fiber Artist Mavis Taillieu (b. 1952), Canadian politician Mavis Tate (1893–1947), British Conservative Party politician and feminist Mavis Taylor (1915–2007), Australian humanitarian Mavis Villiers, an actress Mavis Wilson (fl. 1980–90s), Canadian politician The Mavis's, Australian alternative rock bandNotable fictional characters with the first name Mavis include: Dark Mavis, recurring character in British band Mansun's debut album Attack of the Grey Lantern Mavis, a controversial personification of viewers of daytime shopping television, made by Katie Hopkins of the third series of the UK television reality programme The Apprentice; Mavis is said to have had an ample bosom and to be single and lonely, among other things Mavis, two fictional characters who first appeared in the DC Comics universe Mavis, a character from the BBC comedy Open All Hours Mavis, a diesel locomotive character from The Railway Series books by the Rev.
