Biblical Name Vault:

Meaning, origin and etymology of the name Miriam (Mary)

• Miriam (Ex 15:20) Mariam (Mat 1:16) Maria (Mary)
1) Prophetess and older sister of Moses and Aaron 2) Mother of Jesus 3) Some others.

A few possibilities:
(1) From Mara meaning rebellious, disobedient. Derivation Meri means rebellion. Transliterated to Greek yields the name of Mary, the mother of Jesus.

Jones initially reads Their Rebellion. NOBSE reads Obstinacy, Stubbornness.

(2) From Mar and Yam meaning sea.
Mar means bitter; Mar means myrrh. Both come from the root Marar meaning be bitter, strengthen, strong.
Mar probably means drop but is used only once, in Isa 40:15).
Jones (additionally) and Jerome read Stella Maris (star of the sea), but that strikes as a very free interpretation.
The name Miriam (Mary) means Bitternesses but also Strong Waters/ Waters Of Strength.

It means bitternesses or strong waters, which was a reference to the ceremonial water used by Jewish priests.
