Excerpt from The Universal Name: Or One Hundred Songs to Mary SelectedThere are over fifty different forms of the name of Mary in use in Europe, many of these are derived from the He brew word Miriam, which was the real name, of she whom we call Mary, the mother of Jesus. The Greeks and Latins translated it Maria, the French Marie, the English alone translated it Mary. The Slavonic races have such deriva tives as Marika. In western Europe we have the variations of Marion, Marietta, &c., the returning Crusaders brought the name to Spain, France and Great Britain. It found a cordial reception, and has been for centuries the most popu lar name in Christendom, including the United States. Among the Latin races it is often bestowed on male children.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
