Mary is a common name, particularly among Christians, since it has Biblical roots. It is the Anglicized version of the Greek and Latin name 'Maria', which appears in the New Testament of the Bible. Due to its ties to Saint Mary Magdalene, who the Apostles referred to as an apostle, and the Virgin Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ, the name Mary has become extensively used. Mary's Hebrew counterpart is 'Miryam'. The Christian name Mary means 'beloved'. Apart from its historical and theological context and underlying meanings, many cute and cool nicknames are popular for people with this name, like Mary Poppins, Mary Elizabeth, Mary Marvel, Marisol, Mariella, Marigold, and Marja.
