It is "Marayom" it means "Bitterness". The root word "Mara" is also used in regard to the Pool of "Bitter Water" that Moshe led the Exodus to, and made it "Sweet" by casting a "Branch" into it. It is hinted at that it recalled the "Bitter Days" re: the Jewish time in slavery to Egypt. "Yom" being "Day."

The Hebrew form of her name is miryam denoting in the Old Testament only the sister of Moses. In I Par., iv, 17, the Massoretic text applies the same name to a son of Jalon, but, as the Septuagint version transcribes this name as Maron, we must infer that the orthography of the Hebrew text has been altered by the transcribers. The same version renders miryam by Marian, a form analogous to the Syriac and Aramaic word Maryam. In the New Testament the name of the Mary is always Mariam, excepting in the Vatican Codex and the Codex Bezae followed by a few critics who read Maria in Luke, ii, 19. Possibly the Evangelists kept the archaic form of the name for Mary, so as to distinguish her from the other women who bore the same name.

Also, the root of the name Mary...and the words maritime and mariner come from the ancient goddess Mari of the Sea.

The word Mary comes from the Hebrew #4805 in the concordance and was taken from Miriam. Miriam = "rebellion" 1) elder sister of Moses and Aaron 2) a woman of Judah so Mary means a woman of Judah of which was her tribe.

Mary = Miriam the rebellious. Hummm, what a name for the Son of God's mother, the rebel.

The Hebrew (and the original!) form of this name is "Miryam" (מרים, pronounced: mir-yAm).
The meaning is unknown, but it could be:
*Bitter sea
*Lady of the sea
*Bitterness
*Their rebellion
*Revolutionaries
*Rebelliousness
