I'm glad I don't have a maiden aunt like no 2:

I always thought that was called a Scottish Maiden.

The OED doesn't seem to have that use. However, the first few
meanings as they apply to human beings a

A girl; a young (unmarried) woman
A virgin
A man without experience of sexual intercourse
An unmarried woman, a spinster
A maidservant, a female attendant
