Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Slovenská podoba Mária vznikla prostredníctvom gréckeho Maria a latinského Maria z biblického hebrejského mena Mirjam (מִרְיָם). Jeho pôvodný význam nie je spoľahlivo určený; spája sa najmä s egyptským koreňom mry vo význame „milovať, milovaný“ a s hebrejskými koreňmi vyjadrujúcimi horkosť alebo vzdor.
