Maria (given Name)
Maria is a feminine given name. It is given in many languages influenced by Christianity. It was used as the feminine form of the unrelated Roman name ''Marius (name), Marius'' (see Maria gens), and, after Christianity had spread across the Roman empire, it became the Latinised form of the name of Miriam: Mary, mother of Jesus. ''Maria'' (Greek language, Greek: Μαρία) is a form of the name used in the New Testament, standing alongside ''Mariam'' (Μαριάμ). It reflects the Syro-Aramaic name ''Maryam'', which is in turn derived from the Biblical Hebrew name ''Miriam (name), Miriam''. As a result of their similarity and syncretism, the Latin original name ''Maria'' and the Hebrew-derived ''Maria'' combined to form a single name. In Germanic languages, the name's usage is connected with the Germanic element *mar meaning "famous". The name is also sometimes used as a male (middle) name. This was historically the case in many Central Europe countries and still is the case i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
