Maz is of Hebrew origin, meaning 'to flow' or 'elevation'. It's typically used as a short form of names like Marzanna, a Slavic goddess of winter and the dead. Maz was also used in ancient Mesopotamia to denote 'sweetness' or 'fragrance'. In the modern era, it gained popularity independently from other names, perhaps due to its unique sound and simplicity.
"Maz was given to five newborns in 2013."
