What does the girl name Maura mean?

Answer 1

It means Dark.
Also, there is one country named Mauritania, and there are two towns, one in Alaska and one near Equator, named Maura. They are little and not really well - known. There is also one village called Maura in Norway. ma(u)ra\ is of Irish origin. Variant of Mary (Latin) "star of the sea".
Usually, girls named Maura express themselves in an artistic way, such as singing, writing or even editing. They have the potential of becoming the best in whatever they do, but the bad part is that they somehow give up right before achieving this. They can be very fragile on the inside, but true lions on the outside.
Also, in history there were the dark - skinned maurus from Spain. And let's not forget Saint Mauro.
