Máiréad — (MAW-rayt or MAW-reed) from Greek margaron "pearl". Popular due to admiration of St. Margaret, queen of Scots in 11th C. Peig, Peigi are popular Irish-language nicknames. Margaret, Maighread (MEH-reed).
Mah-rayd I thinkI assume that Maighread is another spelling of Mairéad."You sought a flower and found a fruit. You sought a spring and found a sea. You sought a woman and found a soul. You are disappointed." "It does not become me to make myself smaller than I am." (Edith Södergran 1891-1923)
