the original name in Aramaic is Maryam meaning sea of bitterness. Aramaic was the dialect spoken during the time of Christ and the name Maryam is the actual name of the mother of Jesus. this is illustrated in the original Bible and the Quran.
Maria is the translation in Spanish just like Mary is to English. In Hebrew it is Miriam; Marie in French; Mara in Russian; Miren in Basque, etc. etc. etc.
