Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Maša je ruská domácka podoba mena Mária, v ruštine Мария. Prostredníctvom gréckeho Mariam a Maria patrí k hebrejskému menu Mirjam. Odvodenie Maše od Márie je doložené; neistý je najstarší pôvod a význam mena Mirjam. Hebrejský pôvod preto označuje biblický základ, slovanský vznik domáckej podoby; egyptský pôvod zostáva hypotézou.

Sources and scholarly methodology: Odvodenie a jazykové príbuzné podoby: Behind the Name – Masha. Neistá etymológia základného mena: Behind the Name – Mary. Medzinárodné ekvivalenty uvádzajú prevažne podoby základného mena Mária. Zdrobneniny sú možné domácke formy, nie overený rebríček obľúbenosti v slovenských rodinách. Konkrétne heslo v publikácii Milana Majtána ani stanovisko JÚĽŠ SAV k menu Maša neboli priamo overené; profil preto nemožno označiť za nimi autorizovaný.
