[quote=Anonymous]The name Mary is very ancient and is Egyptian in origin. It means Beloved and we see it spelled Meri usually when reading about ancient Egypt. A first dynasty mother of a pharaoh was named Meri Neit (beloved of the goddess Night) circa 3000 BC. It may be that the origin of the name Miriam, sister of Moses, is in Meri https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miriam_(given_name) The above link give several variants that are quite close to Mary and that OP may feel also honor her heritage and culture. I love the name Mary. What an incredible history it has. I'd definitely use it, perhaps with a spelling variation. My grandmother was a Mary but preferred to be called Maria. [/quote]
