The name that was used in Ireland (Éire) for The Blessed Virgin Mary was Muire and interestingly, her name was so honored that it was rarely used as a first name until the end of the fifteenth century. Then Máire became acceptable as a given name but the spelling Muire was reserved for the Blessed Mother.

"Mary" appears in other languages: Arabic: مريم (Maryam); Septuagint Greek: Μαριάμ, Mariam, Μαρία, Maria,

Late Latin: Maria,  Māryām; Syriac: Mart Maryam.

A woman named Mary Murphy in English would be known in Irish as Máire Ní Mhurchú if she is unmarried

and Máire UíMhurchú if she is married.
