Mhairi

{ Mhairi or Mhàiri is a Scottish female given name, ultimately derived from the name Mary. Etymologically, it is an erroneous form, based on the Scottish Gaelic vocative form a Mhàiri (pronounced [əˈvaːɾʲɪ]), from the nominative Màiri [ˈmaːɾʲɪ]. In Scottish English it is usually pronounced [ˈvaːrɪ], though it can be pronounced [ˈmaːɾʲɪ]. Variations of this form also occur, such as Mhari or Mhairie. {
