ArchivesRe: When was Maria first regularly used in Iberia and Italy?
in reply to a message by clevelandkentevans
I don't know about the use of Maria in Iberia/Italy, but it may interest you to know that in Irish/Gaeilge there is a version of Mary used only for the BVM. She is Muire, which is never used as a given name.
I would be interested in knowing if this was ever reflected in the use of the vernacular/written Latin used in the Irish church? As far as I know it isn't and Maria was used for Mary, for both the BVM and the given name Mary in Masses, and church registers, etc.
