The usage of "Late Greek" should be assigned to this name, because Maura is of Greek origin (see the comment that I left at the entry for Maurus) and was first used in the Late Greek period.
Also, the name is written as Μαῦρα in Late Greek and as Μαύρα in Modern Greek. However, the name should be transcribed as Mavra for Modern Greek.

Maura is quite a dated name here in Italy. I can see it on women born in years 1950s-1960s at least mid-1970s, but not later.
