Answer:
Meaning name Maryam
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask
for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever
He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that
there is no one (no idol, no person, no
grave, no prophet, no imam, no dai,
nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that
Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 3 Surah
Ale-Imraan verses 35-36:
35 Behold! a woman of Imran said: "O my Lord! I do dedicate unto
thee what is in my womb for Thy special service, so accept this of me for Thou
Hears and Knows all things."
36 When she was delivered she said: "O my Lord! Behold! I am
delivered of a female child!" And
Allah knew best what she brought forth, and nowise is the male like the
female. “I have named her Maryam
and I commend her and her offspring to Thy Protection from the Shaytaan, the
rejected."
Beloved Sister, the name ‘Maryam’ is not an Arabic term
nor does the term have a specified meaning in the Arabic language, except that
it is a proper-noun and name assigned to
More than likely ‘Maryam’ would be a term of the Hebrew or
Aramaic language, the languages which were widely spoken during the times of
Prophet Isa (a.s.); and Allah Alone Knows Best.
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to
Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only
Source of Strength.
