Maat, derived from Ancient Egyptian, was originally the personification of truth, justice, and harmony. The name is associated with Ma'at, the goddess who oversaw the weighing of souls during judgment in the afterlife. In modern times, it has evolved as a unisex given name, embodying principles of balance, fairness, and cosmic order.
"The name Maat experienced a significant rise in popularity over the years, with a notable spike from 5 births in 2008 to 19 births in 2020, before slightly decreasing to 10 births in 2022 and 6 births in 2023. Over this period, there were a total of 170 Maat babies born."
