单词 mary
释义

Maryn.1int.

Brit. /ˈmɛːri/, U.S. /ˈmɛri/
Inflections: Plural Maries, Marys.
Forms: Old English–Middle English Maria, Old English–1600s Marie, early Middle English Marȝe ( Ormulum), early Middle English Mariæ, Middle English–1500s Mare, Middle English–1500s Mari, Middle English–1600s Marye, Middle English– Mary, 1500s Marry; Scottish pre-1700 Mair, pre-1700 Mare, pre-1700 Mari, pre-1700 Marie, pre-1700 Marries (plural), pre-1700 Meri- (in compounds), pre-1700 1700s– Mary. Also with lower-case initial.
Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from French. Partly a borrowing from Latin. Etymons: French Marie; Latin Maria.
Etymology: < Anglo-Norman and Old French Marie (12th cent.) and its etymon post-classical Latin Maria (Vulgate) < Hellenistic Greek Μαρία, Μαριάμ (New Testament) < Aramaic and post-biblical Hebrew Maryām, variant of biblical Hebrew Miryām (first attested as the name of Miriam the prophet, the sister of Moses, Exodus 15:20), of uncertain origin.Hellenistic Greek Μαριάμ is the usual form in the New Testament both for the Virgin Mary (see sense 1) and for Mary of Bethany, the sister of Martha and Lazarus (see sense 2). The form Μαρία is most often used for the other women called Mary in English: it reflects loss of -m in vernacular 1st-cent. Palestinian Aramaic. The generalization of the form Maria in post-classical Latin may reflect the interpretation of Mariam as an accusative form. The Hebrew name may be < Amorite, with the meaning ‘gift (of God)’; compare the Akkadian root rym ‘to give as a gift’. For some late antique etymologies, see G. W. H. Lampe, Patristic Greek Lexicon s.v.; one element of the name has often been interpreted as ‘sea’, e.g. in pseudo-Epiphanius' explanation σμύρνα θαλάσσης ‘myrrh of the sea’ (in Lampe), and St Jerome's stella maris (see Stella Maris n.). For Mary Magdalene see Magdalene n. Attested as a personal name in Scotland from the late 11th cent. and in England from the late 12th cent. The Old English form Marie (oblique case Marian ) was trisyllabic; Middle English and early modern English Marie , chiefly reflecting Anglo-Norman and Old French Marie , was probably disyllabic. With the Older Scots form Mair (and also the form Mair'mas s.v. Marymass n.) compare Irish Máire , Scottish Gaelic Màiri . Mary was used as a baptismal name only moderately in the medieval period, its usual pet forms being Mariot and Marion . Its popularity increased rapidly after the Reformation, and from the mid 17th cent. to the end of the 19th cent. it was invariably the most frequently chosen name for girls. Its numerous post-medieval pet forms include Mal , Mally , Malkin (see malkin n.), Moll (see moll n.2), Molly (see molly n.1), Pall , Pally , Poll (see Poll n.3), Polly (see Polly n.1), Marian , Marion (see Marian n.2). Marianne (compare Marianne n.) is < French Marianne , which may be < Marie + Anne or < Mariamne < Hellenistic Greek Μαριάμνη , the form of Μαριάμ found in Josephus, as the name of a wife of Herod the Great; Mary Ann (see Mary Ann n.) probably arises partly < Marian and partly < Marianne . The name Marie , pronounced /məˈriː/ or occasionally /ˈmɑːri/ (compare marie n.1), is a subsequent reborrowing of the French name in the 19th cent. The name Maria in modern use represents a learned revival, traditionally pronounced /məˈrʌɪə/ (compare Black Maria n.), but more recently also (perhaps under the influence of increasing familiarity with Italian or Spanish) /məˈriːə/. Compare Italian Maria , Spanish María , Portuguese Maria , German Maria , Dutch Maria , Russian Mar′ja , Marija . The name Miriam is also found as a personal name in English, from the Reformation onwards. Senses 3 and 4 probably arise simply from the frequency of Mary as a female forename.

2. [With allusion to Luke 10:38–42.] In Christian allegory the name of Mary of Bethany, sister of Martha (see Martha n. 1) used as the symbol or type of the contemplative life, as opposed to the active life (typified by Martha). Hence: a thoughtful, dreamy, or contemplative woman, esp. one unconcerned with domestic matters.Quots. OE and lOE represent a different tradition of application of the biblical text in which Martha is taken to symbolize the Christian's present earthly life, and Mary the future life in heaven.
