Maria

Yet herein they come short of the monks and friars in their conceits of the word Maria; they have so tossed it and turned it, so anagrammatized and transposed it, that never were five poor letters so worried since time did put them into the alphabet.

1629, Thomas Adams, Meditations upon Creed, The Works of Thomas Adams, James Nichol (1862), volume 3, page 211

By their dresses, their names, and the airs of quality they give themselves, I am rendered ridiculous among all my acquaintance. My wife, who is a very plain good woman, and whose name is Amey, has been new-christened, and is called Amelia; and my little daughter, a child of a year old, is no longer Polly, but Maria.

1776, Adam Fitz-Adam: The World of Adam Fitz-Adam. Edinburgh, Apollo Press 1776: Numb. 187. Thursday, July 29, 1756

I've just kissed a girl named Maria / And suddenly I found how wonderful a sound can be! / Maria! Say it loud and there's music playing / Say it soft and it's almost like praying

Maria

IESUSEN CHRISTUSEN syndymys/ nein oli. Cosca Maria hene’ eitens oli Josephijn kihlattu enne’ quin hen weij sen cotians leuttin hen oleua raskas pyheste Hengest.

1548, Mikael Agricola, transl., Se Wsi Testamenti [The New Testament], Stockholm, Pyhen Mattheusen Euangelium (Matthew) 1:18:

Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.

Sirkku oli kovin väärä nimi. Mikä vahinko, etteivät ihmiset voineet etukäteen tietää miltä heidän lapsensa tulevat näyttämään ja sitten antoivat niille ihan vääriä nimiä. Maria sen olisi pitänyt, Maria tämä oli, kapeat kasvot ja tumma tukka, ei mikään Sirkku voinut näyttää tuollaiselta.

1983, Eva Illoinen, Ovi pimeään, Tammi, →ISBN, page 155:

Sirkku wasn't quite the right name. Such a shame it is that people couldn't foresee what their children would look like to prevent giving them names that are completely wrong. She should have been a Maria. Definitely a Maria, narrow face and dark hair, no Sirkku would look anything like that.

Olin lapsena harmitellut nimeäni, jota silloin ei ollut muilla kuin mummoilla ja lahkolaisperheiden jälkeläisillä. Yläasteella minua oli piikitelty Neitsyt Mariaksi, vaikka raju ja poikamainen käytökseni oli kaikkea muuta kuin neitseellistä. Olin usein ihmetellyt miksi agnostikkovanhempani olivat valinneet niin vahvasti kristillisyyteen liittyvän nimen. He väittivät sen johtuvan vain siitä, että molempien isoäitieni nimi oli ollut Maria.

1998, Leena Lehtolainen, Tuulen puolella, Tammi, →ISBN, page 321:

As a child, I had regretted my name that only grandmas and children in sectarian families used to have back then. In junior high I had been mocked as a "Virgin Mary", even though my rough and boyish behavior was anything but virginal. I often wondered why my agnostic parents gave me a name so heavily associated with Christianity. They just said it was because both of my grandmothers had also been called Maria.

mitä Mariana katolla, sitä vappuna vaolla
