There are two or three Marys in the New Testament. One of them is Mary, the mother of Jesus, and she is referred to as Madonna.

The word Madonna means mother and is used to refer to Mary in art. However the other Madonna, the singer, practices Kaballah, a form of Judaism.

Yes, I am pretty sure Madonna just means "My Lady" but, THE Madonna is Mary.
