Name origin
Maria is a female given name in many diverse cultures with different meanings: "sea of bitterness", "rebelliousness", "beloved, love", "star of the sea" or "wished for child". In the Roman Empire, the name was used as a feminine form of the Roman name Marius. It became popular with the spread of Christianity as a Latinized form of the Hebrew name Miryam. As a result the Latin Maria and the Hebrew-derived Maria combined to form a single name. The meaning of the Semitic-rooted name is uncertain, but it may originally be an Egyptian name, probably derived from mry "beloved" or mr "love" ("eminent lady" or "beloved lady"). The meaning of the Latin-rooted name is similarly ambiguous, possibly deriving from mare ("sea" in Latin), maris ("male"), or the name of the god Mars.
