HelpRe: Salome, Sabbath and Odessa /names that feel Jewish but are not used by jews
in reply to a message by Snapdragon
Following on from Miriam, I work in a very British-Asian area and regularly come across Maria and various related forms, usually but not always British-Pakistani Muslim girls - not always pronounced the same way, but I suspect related. I've always thought it was interesting and wondered where that came from.

Mariam, Maryam, etc is a super common Muslim name. Oftentimes I hear "My aunt/mom/sister is named Maryam." We have a dexent sized Muslim population.
