Seluvaia Mafi was born about 1838. She married Setelo Unu about 1862, in Hamula, Tongatapu, Tonga. They were the parents of at least 2 sons.
Tongan: unexplained.
Iranian: probably from a shortened form of the personal name Moafi, based on the Persian word (of Arabic origin) muʻāfī ‘privilege, exemption’, also ‘forgiveness’ (compare 3 below).
Bangladeshi: from the personal name Mafi, based on maf ‘to forgive’, a Bengali word of Persian origin (see 2 above).
