Re: Masculine name Mari
in reply to a message by Anneza
I don't think so, because the colonial potence in Timor was Portugal and the Portuguese names are still in use (Carlos, Felipe, Jose...). In fact, Mário, the Portuguese equivalent of Marius is found among Timorese.

I focused on Indonesia, and ignored Timor! Morning coffee hadn't kicked in. Sorry!
