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 ), from the nominative Màiri. In Scottish English it is usually pronounced, though it can be pronounced mari. Variations of this form also occur, such as Mhari or Mhairie.
