Majken

Majken is a Danish and Swedish feminine name that arose as a pet form of Maj, itself a Scandinavian short form of Maria. Maria derives from the Latin and Greek form of the Hebrew name Miryam, whose precise meaning is debated but may relate to concepts of beloved or rebellious. The name has been in steady use across Denmark and Sweden and shares its roots with related forms such as Maja, Maj, and ultimately Maria and Marie.
