Mauri

  1. a male given name, equivalent to English Maurice
    • 1930-1945, published posthumously 1968, Ain'Elisabet Pennanen, Kaksi raukkaa, WSOY, page 429:
      ―Eikö teillä ole muuta ristimänimeä kuin Sulo, Laisa kysyi ärsytellen.
      ―On, Mauri.
      ―No, mutta käyttäkää sitä sitten! Sehän on kaunis nimi. Mauri Määttä ja sointuu.
      ―Is Sulo the only name you were christened with, Laisa asked in a teasing way.
      ―No, there's also Mauri.
      ―Well, use that then! It's a pretty name. Mauri Määttä and it rhymes.
    • 2006, Seppo Jokinen, Hiirileikki, Karisto, published 2009, →ISBN, pages 11–12:
      Mauri Arvi Maunukka, se oli hänen koko nimensä.
      Mauri Maunukka. MAU MAU, MAU MAU.
      ( - - - ) Mauria ei ollut pantu edes alulle vielä silloin, ja kun hän sitten oli syntynyt monen odotuksentäyteisen vuoden jälkeen, hänet oli kastettu kotikylän mukaan Mauriksi. Isä ja äite olivat kertoneet asian sataan kertaan kaikille tutuille ja Maurinkylän naapureille ja vielä naureskelleetkin sen päälle. Arvistakin se oli ollut aluksi hauskaa, mutta sitten nauru oli muuttunut itkuksi. Eihän Mauri-nimessä mitään vikaa ollut, se oli kaunis ja komea, mutta sukunimeen ja kissanaamaan yhdistettynä se oli tehnyt hänen kouluvuosistaan helvetin.
      Mauri Arvi Maunukka was his full name.
      Mauri Maunukka. MAU MAU, MAU MAU.
      ( - - - ) Mauri wasn't even conceived back then, and he was finally born after many years of waiting, he has been named Mauri after his home village. His parents had then told this hundreds of times to everyone they knew and the neighbors at Maurinkylä and even laughed on top. Arvi too thought it was funny at first, but then then his laughter turned to crying. There was nothing wrong with the name Mauri, it was nice and all, but combined with his surname and cat-like face, it had made his school years a living hell.
