Mary in jesus's time was a royal title so what was his mothers actual name.?

Answer 1

Ethel.

Answer 2

The Bible says the angel Gabriel went to a virgin "whose name was Mary". She also referred to herself as a humble servant girl. She was a poor girl whose social prestige was nonexistent. Mary may have been a royal title at one point, but it eventually became a common name. There were many women named Mary in the time of Jesus - none of them with royal heritage. Mary Magdalene and the sister of Lazarus are two examples.

Answer 3

Mary, or Maryam in it's original Aramaic, meaning "bitter" has no proven relaevance to the existance of the Christ. Her Mother was St. Anne equally of no absolute significance in a Royal line, merely a coincidence? Or a Masonic joke?

Answer 4

Where did you hear that Mary was a royal title? That doesn't sound right to me. It was a common name that was used by people who didn't have a royal heritage.
