Maite is the Basque word for "beloved" or "dear one" — derived from maitatu (to love).
Maite is widely used in the Basque Country.
Maite does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Maite reduce to 3, The Communicator. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
