Maryia

Maryia is the Belarusian form of Mary, ultimately derived from the Hebrew name Miryam, whose meaning is debated but may relate to bitterness, beloved, or a wished-for child. The name spread throughout the Christian world largely through veneration of the Virgin Mary, mother of Jesus in the New Testament. It remains one of the most widely used female names across many cultures and languages. Related forms include Maria, Marie, Mariya, and Miriam.
