[Facts] Re: origin of Gloria as a Marian devotion name
in reply to a message by Anneza
Glória / Maria da Glória is still in use in Portugal, but it's an extremely oldfashioned name. I would be surprised to meet a Glória who is under 60 years-old. With a few exceptions, "Marian names" aren't really used anymore, even in very Catholic families, because they are seen as "old lady" names... and most people aren't very religious to begin with.
