THE MAYA VAN LINES
STORY
WHAT’S IN A NAME?
The name MAYA comes from Maia, the youngest goddess daughter of the God Atlas. If you
associate Maya’s father’s name with a large, franchised moving company, then think of the daughter
as building an Atlanta moving company that emphasizes hard work to build a solid hometown
reputation. It’s in our name.
In Greek mythology, the name Maya derives from the Goddess “Maia” who rules over “increase.”
According to Hindu belief, Maya also means “illusion,” “enchantment” or “God’s creative power.”
This refers to the illusory nature of this world. Maya has roots in Sanskrit, with “ma” meaning “not”
and “ya” meaning “this,” and the name is also associated with “water.”
Finally, Maya is also used as a pet form of “Amalia” meaning “industrious” or “hardworking.” We
think this characterizes Maya Van Lines.
WHAT’S IN A MASCOT?
Every day in our office, Phoebe, our Boston terrier, embodies the qualities that have made Maya Van
Lines the Atlanta mover of choice for local, long distance and interstate moves.
Phoebe greets everyone she meets with her equivalent of a big, wide smile. She does everything she
can to please all who come in contact with her – both on a regular basis or just to get one thing done.
She always appreciates every kindness shown to her.
Phoebe won’t give you and on-site estimate. Nor will she pack your goods, load your truck or make
sure everything arrives and is unloaded safely. But Phoebe is with us every step of the way to remind
us of what need to do for your stress-free moving experience.
