Maite (given name)
Maite ( /ˈmaɪteɪ/ MY-tay) is a female given name of Basque origin meaning love.
It has become a popular name throughout Spanish and Portuguese-language countries. In Spanish it is usually stressed on the first syllable. Alternatively, it is also the Spanish nickname (sort of a contraction) for both "María Teresa" and "María Esther", in which case it is most frequently stressed on the last syllable and spelled with y, thus Mayté.
It is also used as a proper name in the Portuguese-speaking Brazil in the forms of Maitê and Maytê (both pronounced /maj'te/), stressed on the last syllable.
