Maria

Maria is a feminine name that is rich with meanings and significance. The Latin form of Mary and Miryam, which are said to have roots spread throughout Hebrew, Greek, and Egyptian, Maria most famously honors Mary, the mother of Jesus, and one of the most sacred figures in Christianity. With potential meanings like "sea of bitterness," "rebelliousness," “beloved,” and “wished-for child,” Maria represents the love that will remain with your little one even as they navigate life's waves and currents. Naming your child Maria could also be a lovely way to honor a loved one, or many, as is true for The Bump community member Todd&Laura, who says, "We chose Maria because there have been Marys, Maries, and Mariannes in my family for several generations, and I had a relative I really loved whose name was Maria."
