What is the Hebrew name for Mary and it's meaning?

It is "Marayom" it means "Bitterness". The root word "Mara" is also used in regard to the Pool of "Bitter Water" that Moshe led the Exodus to, and made it "Sweet" by casting a "Branch" into it. It is hinted at that it recalled the "Bitter Days" re: the Jewish time in slavery to Egypt. "Yom" being "Day."

What is the Hebrew name for Mary and it's meaning?
Not quite sure but here's what one website says... (They aren't exhaustive though...)
Reply:When I looked up Mary it says Mary or Miriam = Their Rebellion.
Reply:The Hebrew (and the original!) form of this name is "Miryam" (מרים, pronounced: mir-yAm).





The meaning is unknown, but it could be:


*Bitter sea


*Lady of the sea


*Bitterness


*Their rebellion


*Revolutionaries


*Rebelliousness
Reply:The Hebrew form of her name is miryam denoting in the Old Testament only the sister of Moses. In I Par., iv, 17, the Massoretic text applies the same name to a son of Jalon, but, as the Septuagint version transcribes this name as Maron, we must infer that the orthography of the Hebrew text has been altered by the transcribers. The same version renders miryam by Marian, a form analogous to the Syriac and Aramaic word Maryam. In the New Testament the name of the Mary is always Mariam, excepting in the Vatican Codex and the Codex Bezae followed by a few critics who read Maria in Luke, ii, 19. Possibly the Evangelists kept the archaic form of the name for Mary, so as to distinguish her from the other women who bore the same name.

Also, the root of the name Mary...and the words maritime and mariner come from the ancient goddess Mari of the Sea.
