Appendix:Names derived from Miryam
Definition from Wiktionary, the free dictionary
Miryam is a Hebrew given name. It is thought to mean "sea of bitterness," "rebelliousness," or "wished-for child" from the Hebrew, or to be derived from the Ancient Egyptian word mry (“beloved”), mr (“love”),[1] or even Meryamun "beloved of Amun".[2] The English and Romance language derivations have also become associated with the Latin word mare (“sea”).
