Meaning of Mariam
There are many different opinions on what the name Mariam means. Hebrew sources say it means “bitter”, others say it means “wished for child”, and others say it means “Our Lady”. The only thing we know for certain is that it is the name of the mother of Prophet Isaa (alaihuma salam). For this reason regardless of the name’s ancient origins, this name today describes the characteristics of Mary, mother of Jesus, such as her her purity, constant worship, and devotion to Allah.
And We did certainly give Moses the Torah and followed up after him with messengers. And We gave Jesus, the son of Mary, clear proofs and supported him with the Pure Spirit. {2:87}
God has also given examples of believers: Pharaoh’s wife, who said, ‘Lord, build me a house near You in the Garden. Save me from Pharaoh and his actions; save me from the evildoers,’ and Mary, daughter of ‘Imran. She guarded her chastity, so We breathed into her from Our spirit. She accepted the truth of her Lord’s words and Scriptures: she was truly devout. {66:11,12}

Until I came to America, I did not like my name. I thought it was an old woman’s name and not fancy or glamorous. All the Mariams I knew were old. But my American mother-in-law loved it and many more Americans after that. I finally have grown into my name….it could be worse!

The meaning of Mariam could be sought from its Egyptian origin where it first appeared, from the Hebrew/Christian Bible perspective, as the name of the sister of Moses, who may have had it from her Egyptian roots
on Saturday 12th of August 2017 12:07:53 PM
Salam. My name is mariam. People often spell my name marium/maryam/meriumm/miriam/murium and so on. They just spell whatever they think. They never spell it”mariam” so does it change any meaning of the name or what

The information posted here is incorrect! The names you say are Quranic are not actually! For instance the name Raniya like you claim is Quranic, and it isn’t! Pls do not spread or mislead people to believe things that aren’t true!
