Fun Fact
As the name of the mother of Jesus in Christian tradition, Mary became one of the most widely used female names across the entire Western world. For centuries in Catholic countries it was so revered that many parents avoided using it alone, instead giving it as a middle name or combining it with another, as in Mary-Anne or Anne-Marie.
