Re: When was Maria first regularly used in Iberia and Italy?
in reply to a message by clevelandkentevans
According to "El nombre de persona en la documentación castellana medieval" (in English: "Given name in medieval Castilian documentation"), by María Simón Parra; the name María was common in the 13th century (High Middle Ages) in all the Spanish territory at that time.
It should be noted that the Iberian Peninsula was Christian at the start of the 13th century.
Hope this helps. :)
