History and Origin
Miriam is an ancient female Hebrew given name (מִרְיָם) that has taken on many other forms in other languages and cultures, including the English name Mary.
Biblical: the Old Testament form of the Hebrew name Maryam (see Mary). Of uncertain ultimate origin, this is first recorded as being borne by the elder sister of Moses (Exodus 15: 20). Since the names of both Moses and his brother Aaron are probably of Egyptian origin, it is possible that this feminine name is too. It was enthusiastically taken up as a given name by the Israelites, and is still borne mainly, but by no means exclusively, by Jews.
Variant: Mariamne.
