Proud or walking with a proud gait
Mais is an Arabic name typically used for girls, referring to the graceful, swaying movement of a tree or a person walking with a proud, elegant gait. It is often associated with the 'Mais al-Reem' or the 'shining star,' symbolizing beauty and confidence. In some contexts, it is also linked to the 'marjoram' plant, though the 'proud gait' etymology is more prominent.
