A popular name in Germany, Maria is the Latin form of Mary, which is derived from the Hebrew Miryam (sea of bitterness or sorrow). There is much debate over the meaning of this name, however. While "sea of bitterness/sea of sorrow" seems to be the most probable, some sources cite the alternative definitions of "rebellion," "wished-for child," and "mistress or lady of the sea." The name is usually bestowed in honor of the Virgin Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ |
