Mary

Etymology
Maria:, from Μαρία:, Μαριάμ:, possibly from Aramaic מרים (Maryām), bitter, from a root מר ( MR ) meaning "to be bitter". The name corresponds to the Hebrew מרים (Miryām), Old Testament Miriam. The meaning is much debated. Some argue it means mutiny / rebellion / disobedience from the Hebrew root מרי (m-r-y).
