Maimu (Maim)

Immature fish, whitebait, smelt, fry once developed from larva, or even baby anything. Part of a fish group. Also a woman’s name that appears to have been created in 1886 by 20-year-old Georg Eduard Luiga, later editor-in-chief of Päevaleht, in his story Muruneid (fairy of the greensward), a probable reference to the Kalevipoja’s Murueit, queen / mother of the fairies / greensward. As will Daenerys, the name had its fifteen minutes then faded away. See also Merihärja.
