Mária's name day is observed five times within the year across specific Central European regions. Celebrations occur in Hungary on August 15, September 8, September 12, and December 8. Additionally, the name is celebrated on September 12 in Slovakia.
Mária is the standard spelling for this classic female name in numerous European cultures, including Hungarian, Slovak, and Portuguese, reflecting its broad global acceptance. Derived from the ancient Hebrew Miryam, its meaning is often debated, suggesting associations like "star of the sea" or "wished-for child." Historically, Mária gained prominence through religious texts, cementing its status as one of the most enduring names in Western civilization. In the USA, it typically appears as a variant reflecting immigrant ancestry. The name is strictly feminine, conveying a mood of classic elegance, strength, and historical dignity.
