What does the name "Mary" mean?

Mary comes from the Hebrew name “Miryam.” It was the name of the sister of Moses. It may ultimately be derived from an Egyptian word “mery,” meaning beloved. This came down in the Greek Scripture of Alexandrian Jews as Mariam. The New Testament Greek also uses this form, as does the Latin of St. Jerome. The pious tradition has taken it as associated with “mar” (sea, in Latin), as in the Marian title “stella maris” (star of the sea).
