Anglicized form of Maria, which is derived from the Hebrew Miryam (sea of bitterness, sea of sorrow). There is much debate over the meaning of the name, however. While "sea of bitterness or sorrow" seems to be the most probable, some sources give the alternative definitions of "rebellion," "wished-for child," and "mistress or lady of the sea." The name, borne in the Bible by the virgin mother of Jesus, has become one of the most en-duringly popular names in the Christian world. Maire is the Gaelic form of Mary |
