Maryam or Mariam is the Aramaic name (ܡܪܝܡ) of Mary the mother of Jesus and of Miriam, the sister of Moses. She is mentioned in the Greek translation of the Tanakh or Old Testament known as the Septuagint, in the original Greek text of the New Testament, and in the Qur'an.〔The Holy Qur'an: Maryam (Mary), Sura 19 (Translation by A. Yusuf Ali)〕 The name has the same form in Syriac, Georgian and Azerbaijani. The Hebrew variant of the name is Miriam, the Latin variant is Maria. This Latin form is the one that was adopted into all modern Western European languages following Christianization. The Turkish variant is spelled Meryem. Being originally the name of Miriam, the name may have originated from the Egyptian language, like possibly Moses; it is likely derivative of the words ''mry'' "beloved" or ''mr'' "love"〔(Catholic Encyclopedia: The Name of Mary ), citing the work of Franz von Hummelauer〕〔(Behind the Name: Meaning, Origin and History of the Name Mary )〕 or the derived ancient Egyptian name Meritamen or Meri-Amun, "beloved of the God Amun".〔Holly Ingraham, ''People's Names: A Cross-cultural Reference Guide to the Proper Use of Over 40,000 Personal and Familial Names in Over 100 Cultures'' (1997) ISBN 0786401877〕 Other suggestions include the word root ''m-r-r'' "bitter" (cf. myrrh), or the Hebrew root (מרי ''m-r-y'') "rebellious", or even possibly "wished-for child", or "strong waters". Maryam is also a name of a flower (tuberose) in the Persian language.〔 ==People with this given name== * Maryam, the name for Mary in Islam * Maryam d'Abo (born 1960), English actress * Maryam Mirzakhani (born 1977), Iranian mathematician * Maryam Mursal (born 1950), Somalian musician * Maryam Namazie, political activist of Iranian descent * Maryam Nemazee, Iranian television journalist * Maryam Qaasim, Somali politician * Maryam Rajavi (born 1953), Iranian political activist * Maryam Yusuf Jamal (born 1984), Bahraini athlete 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Maryam (name)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
