The origin of my name ♀

MARIA - Hebrew Miriam = lady, mistress - The widespread use of the name takes nothing away from its beauty.
Holy Mary, Mother of Jesus Christ, is celebrated on September 8, the day of her birth. But in every part of Italy, there are different traditions, mainly under the name of "Madonna".

If there is a female perfect name, this is Maria - Name of exquisite sweetness and sweetly harmonious,it gives the wearer a sense of distinction and goodness. Space does not allow us to enumerate women who illustrated this name, just think that is the most common name in Italy, followed by Anna, the mother of Mary .
