Mazu is the Chinese goddess of the sea, protector of sailors and fishermen, beloved along the southern coasts.
Calm and watchful, her name has kept seafarers safe for centuries.
Mazu 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 Mazu reduce to 7, The Seeker. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
