Maher is a name of differing origins, it may refer to:
Etymologies[edit]

Irish
Maher (or Mahar, Meagher) is an Irish surname deriving from the Gaelic O'Meachair, meaning the "kindly" or the "generous". The O'Meachair sept was part of the Ely O'Carroll clan and was concentrated in the areas of Kilkenny and Tipperary, notably the Barony of Ikerrin in Ireland. It is pronounced Ma-her.
I had professors say similar things when I was in college. This one suggested that all whites should mate with the blacks so that they'd combine to form one race. If everyone was bi-racial then there would be no more race wars was his train of thought. He somehow forgot that there were more races/ethnicities than just black and white. It was so bizarre I couldn't think of a response at the time.
There once was a day when racist bigots that call for genocide would not be working at an American university. Those days are past-it seems as if nearly a job requirement these days.
