Máire
Máire is the Irish language form of the Latin Maria, which was in turn a Latin form of the Greek names Μαριαμ, or Mariam, and Μαρια, or Maria, found in the New Testament. Both New Testament names were forms of the Hebrew name or Miryam English language name ''Mary''. It was and still is a popular name in Ireland, and is sometimes spelt in its Anglicised forms '' Maura'' and '' Moira''. Historically, ''Maol Muire'' (devotee of Mary) was the reverential form used by the Irish, just as ''Giolla Phádraig'' (servant of Pádraig) was the reverential usage for what subsequently became Pádraig. Following the Norman Invasion of Ireland, Máire gradually replaced ''Maol Muire'' as a given name, as Pádraig gradually replaced ''Giolla Phádraig''. Its overwhelming popularity was due to the Irish devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary, but in recent times Irish religious devotion has waned and fewer girls are being named Máire or Mary. Completely unrelated to this, Maire is also ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
