Mikä vahinko, etteivät ihmiset voineet etukäteen tietää miltä heidän lapsensa tulevat näyttämään ja sitten antoivat niille ihan vääriä nimiä. Maria sen olisi pitänyt, Maria tämä oli, kapeat kasvot ja tumma tukka, ei mikään Sirkku voinut näyttää tuollaiselta. Sirkku wasn't quite the right name. Such a shame it is that people couldn't foresee what their children would look like to prevent giving them names that are completely wrong. She should have been a Maria. Definitely a Maria, narrow face and dark hair, no Sirkku would look anything like that. fi 1998 w:Leena Lehtolainen Tuulen puolella Tammi 978-951-31-7731-7 321 Olin lapsena harmitellut nimeäni, jota silloin ei ollut muilla kuin mummoilla ja lahkolaisperheiden jälkeläisillä. Yläasteella minua oli piikitelty Neitsyt Mariaksi, vaikka raju ja poikamainen käytökseni oli kaikkea muuta kuin neitseellistä. Olin usein ihmetellyt miksi agnostikkovanhempani olivat valinneet niin vahvasti kristillisyyteen liittyvän nimen. He väittivät sen johtuvan vain siitä, että molempien isoäitieni nimi oli ollut Maria. As a child, I had regretted my name that only grandmas and children in sectarian families used to have back then. In junior high I had been mocked as a "Virgin Mary", even though my rough and boyish behavior was anything but virginal. I often wondered why my agnostic parents gave me a name so heavily associated with Christianity. They just said it was because both of my grandmothers had also been called Maria. fi colloquial fi Marianpäivä fi mitä Mariana katolla, sitä vappuna vaolla the weather at the end of March bodes the weather when May begins what you have on the roof on St Mary's (day), you will have on the furrows on May Day / you will have as much snow on the fields on May Day as you had on your roof on Lady Day Usage notes This has been a common given name in Finland since the Middle Ages and is a popular middle name today.

Usage notes Variably causes syntactic doubling in the phrase it Ave Maria Hail Mary, pronunced /ave(m)‿maria/. When used as an interjection: The starting /m/ is often lengthened in pronunciation for greater emphasis. When used in sense 1.1 (expression of resignation), as well as sense 4 (unexpected problems) the word is often used alone. When used to express exasperation (sense 1), the stressed /i/ is usually lengthened. When used for surprise in further unexpected problems arising (sense 4), the word is pronounced a lot faster and the final syllable is not pronounced: [mːäˈriˑj] Anagrams it aaimr Maira amari armai ramai ramia riama Japanese Romanization マリア Latin Etymology la :bor grc-koi:Μᾰρῐ́ᾱ 1 From la grc-koi Μᾰρῐ́ᾱ, from post-Biblical la he - and la arc מרים Maryam, from la hbo מרים Miryám.
