Help[Opinions] Re: Maria & Co.
in reply to a message by Elena
Hi !!
Marina isn't a variant of Maria. It means 'marine, from the sea' but has Latin origin while all Maria/Miriam and other variants have ultimately Hebrew origin.
Byeeeeeee

Some sources say differently. BtN used to say differently. It used to say Marina "Means 'of the sea,' taken from the Latin title of the Virgin Mary, Stella Maris, meaning 'star of the sea.' When you look up Maris, that meaning is still there. To me, Marina means 'of the sea,' however, there's also an association with Mary. Whether the origin is correct or not, the association is there. That's why I included it.
BTW, some experts say that Mary's origin is Egyptian rather than Hebrew. Makes sense to me.
