Origin of the name Miriam: Hebrew name of debated meaning. Many believe it to mean "sea of bitterness" or "sea of sorrow." ... The name is borne in the Bible by the sister of Moses and Aaron.
my name is also spelled Mehwish...but my relatives call me by my nickname Maha (maha sounds like shortform of Mahwish), i think the right spelling is Mahwish, according to the Persian pronounciation and means moon-like face. ... anyways, i love my name...there r so many meanings to it (from my point of view).
