Meanings: The most popular of Spanish names, María is the Latinate form of Mary, which is from the Hebrew Miryam, a name of debated meaning. Many believe it to mean “sea of bitterness” or “sea of sorrow.” However, some sources cite the alternative definitions of “rebellion,” “wished-for child,” and “mistress or lady of the sea.” The name is bestowed in honor of the virgin mother of Christ. Because María is so popular, it is often bestowed in the form of a combination name to distinguish among individuals. It is not uncommon to have several Marías in the same family.
