Help[Facts] Re: origin of Gloria as a Marian devotion name
in reply to a message by SugarPlumFairy
Thanks for your response! I mentioned Maria II in my column and thought perhaps the name was especially common in Portugal because of her. Because of Benito Pérez Galdós's 1877 novel, though, I wanted to admit the possibility that the name Gloria could have sometimes made it to English speaking countries from Spain as well.
