      Mary is the English version of the Latin name Maria, or French Marie. The original Hebrew name was Miriam or Maryam. The origins of this ancient name are uncertain, but the name Maria developed through associations with the Latin stilla maris "drop of the sea" and stella maris, "star of the sea."

      As the name of the Virgin Mary, mother of Jesus, the name Mary acquired a special significance which it has kept ever since. It was very popular with early Christians and has never really gone out of fashion. Other names like Marissa and Marion are variants of Maria and Mary.
