How did Marguerite get the name "Maya"
I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings?
"They reminisced over Bailey's teaching me to walk when he was less than three. Displeased at my stumbling motions, he was suppose to have said, 'This is my sister. I have to teach her to walk.' They also told my how I got the name 'My'. After Bailey learned definitely that I was his sister, he refused to call me Marguerite, but rather addressed me each time as 'Mya Sister,' and in later more articulate years, after the need for brevity had shortened the appellation to 'My', it was elaborated into 'Maya.'"
-Chapter 10
