1. Meaning of the name "Mary"

Mary's usual English form, the Latin form of the Greek names in the New Testament Μρμμμ Mar Mar Mar Mar Will. The meaning is not known for sure, but there are a number of theories including "bitter sea", "rebellion" and "desire for children".

However, most likely it was originally an Egyptian name, probably derived in part from "love" or mr "love". These are the names of some characters in the New Testament, the most important being that Mary is the mother of Jesus.

According to the gospels, Jesus was conceived in her by the Holy Spirit while she remained a virgin. This name was also born by Mary Magdalene, a woman cured by demons by Jesus. She became one of his followers and later witnessed his crucifixion and resurrection.

Due to the Virgin Mary, the name was very popular in the Christian world, although at some point in some cultures it was considered too sacred to be used daily. In England, it has been used since the 12th century, and it is one of the most popular feminine names since the 16th century.

In the United States in 1880 it was given more than twice as often as the next most popular name for girls (Anna). It remained in the top rank in America until 1946 when it was bumped to second (by Linda).

Although it regained the top spot for a few more years in the 1950s it was already falling in usage, and has since dropped out of the top 100 names. This name was born by two British queens, as well as a Scottish queen, Mary Queen of Scots.

Another notable bearing is Mary Shelley (1797-1851), author of Frankenstein. A famous fictional character named Mary Poppins from children's books by P. L. Travers, first published in 1934.

The Latinized form of this name, Maria, is also used in English as well as in several other languages.
