Mira
Maya's final Hebrew name is "Mira," which means "she
who shines." This name is for three of her great-grandmothers: Helene
Balonick (Marc's mother Shelley's mother), Eleanor Davis (Marc's father
Harvey's stepmother, and Helen Miller (Wendy's mother Mary's mother). "Helene,"
"Eleanor", and "Helen" all derive from the ancient Greek
name "Helen" which means "torch" or "light."
May Maya shine as brightly as these brilliant women in her life.
