Are you asking if the name "Mara" originated in America, or are you asking if the name "Mara" is a name commonly found among Americans?No to the first question. Yes to the second question.-- Nanaea

The name "Mara" is Hebrew for bitterness. (Although it's still a very pretty name! You might want to look in a bible to find out if there was a biblical Mara.)Maya

I think Naomi at one point says, "Call me not Naomi, call me Mara" when she is sad. Or, it may have been Ruth--I can't remember clearly and am to lazy to check!
