Macaria

Macaria or Makaria (Greek Μακαρία) is the name of two figures from ancient Greek religion and mythology. Although they are not said to be the same and are given different fathers, they are discussed together in a single entry both in the 10th-century Byzantine encyclopedia the Suda and by Zenobius.

My friend's name is Macaria, only she's not Spanish; she's half black and half Chinese. Her name is also pronounced differently than the suggested pronunciation on this website. She pronounces it muh-KER-ee-uh.
