Help[Opinions] Re: Martha
in reply to a message by LadyBug18
I love Isla Judith Martha - that sounds so pretty - it's definitely going on the top 5 list for girls so thank you.
Miriam has a nice ring to it but it has a sad meaning I think - something to do with grief or tears - too sad!!
Many thanks Kayfiona x

That's true...
Miriam is sometimes said to mean "sea of bitterness" but it's also said to mean "rebelliousness", and "wished for child" or "strong, firm".
It could also be an Egyptian name (since Moses his sister Miriam and their people were born in Egypt) perhaps derived in part from mry "beloved" or mr "love".
So if you did really like it you could choose which ever meaning you prefered! :)
