MEANING AND ORIGIN OF THE NAME

The name comes from the Hebrew name Mariam, which according to one version comes from a root meaning “rejected”, according to another - from the word “sad”. Orthodox tradition translates the name as "madam".

ENERGY AND KARMA OF THE NAME

In the name Maria, in a strange way, severity is combined with cordiality, and passion with some detachment. Sometimes this leads to the development of a very contradictory character, but much more often one of these sides receives a significant advantage due to upbringing and living conditions. Such images as the Christian Virgin Mary and even the no less famous cheerful and sociable girl Masha from Russian fairy tales can play a significant role in the development of Masha’s character.
Indeed, Masha is usually distinguished by noticeable mobility and is not without a sense of humor, but at the same time, in the depths of her soul, significant passion can gradually mature, which she will most likely try to hide from others. However, the more she hides her deep feelings, the more they will grow. Over the years, this can make Maria a rather strict and outwardly serious woman, although she can transform in the circle of close people. Often her sensuality is reflected in her love, especially for her children. At the same time, if we take into account that her feelings often take on the character of passion, then it is possible that this love of hers will turn out to be excessive, to the point that she may not even notice the interests of other people behind the interests of her child. Especially if this child is the only one.

Very often, Mary’s deep soulfulness forces her to choose humane professions, such as teaching or medicine. Here, indeed, the combination of warmth and severity can be very favorable. However, no matter what her desire for her profession is, she cannot distract Maria from caring for her own family. She is a wonderful housewife and tries to devote her whole life to children. She builds her relationship with her husband on the same principles, being always ready to sacrifice his interests for the sake of the child’s sacred interests.

A machine’s life develops differently if, due to her upbringing or for some other reason, she has learned not to hide her passionate nature from others. In this case, her fate may turn out to be quite stormy, but interesting. Especially when her sensuality does not break through immediately, but after a sufficiently, but not too long period of secrecy. It will be like opening a bottle of champagne, fun enough, but, alas, short-lived. In a word, in both cases one should not forget that everything is good when in moderation. It's too much, it's just too much.

Trace of a name in history

The daughter of the prompter of the Maly Theater (1853–1928) had already been involved in the theatrical environment since childhood and always dreamed of becoming an actress, but it is unlikely that even in her dreams she could have imagined what heights she would reach on stage.

She married early for love, to a wealthy landowner, lawyer Shubinsky. However family life it didn’t work out, even the birth of a daughter didn’t help – the young people very quickly realized how far they were from each other.

At the age of 16, Yermolova performed on the stage of the Maly Theater, replacing a suddenly ill actress. After the first words spoken by Yermolova, applause was heard in the theater: everyone was struck by her voice, “coming from the chest and reverberating in the heart.” Afterwards, she wrote in her diary: “What I didn’t even dare to dream about five days ago has come true. I thought they would call me once. I was called twelve times.” Despite her success, she played insignificant roles for several years, until through hard work and unbreakable persistence she won a position for herself. And when she celebrated her 25th anniversary in 1896, she was already considered one of the first artists not only in Russia, but also in Europe.

Her performance fascinated everyone who saw Ermolova on stage. According to contemporaries, she managed to create deep, contradictory, complex images, which at the same time were as real as life itself. However, the actress achieved this effect not only thanks to her talent, but also to her enormous capacity for work, as well as pedantry. So that there were no “blank spots” left for her in the character of her heroines, before learning any historical role, the actress spent a long time rummaging through books and papers of that time, recreating for herself the whole picture - and as a result, her performance was almost documentary. Before the performance, she came to the theater several hours early to get in the mood and get used to the character; That is why director K. Stanislavsky considered Maria Ermolova an ideal actress, whose art, in his words, “lies in complete simplicity.”

Ermolova played Lope de Vega, Racine, Shakespeare, Schiller, Hugo, Pisemsky, Ostrovsky, more than two hundred roles in total.

In 1920, the Soviet public solemnly celebrated the 50th anniversary of Ermolova’s stage activity. V.I. Lenin was present at the anniversary performance. She was the first in the country to receive the title of People's Artist of the Republic.

There are still many theatrical jokes about the great actress, based on her amazing ability not to get lost in any circumstances. So, once Ermolova played on the stage of the Maly Theater. A shot was heard behind the scenes - it was the heroine’s husband who shot himself. An actor ran onto the stage. Ermolova is in terrible excitement: “Who shot?” The actor, without taking a breath, instead of “Your husband!” blurted out: “Wah flies!” Ermolova repeated in horror: “Moss of flies?” - and fell unconscious

The mystery of the name Maria

Considering ancient origin The name is quite difficult to determine its origin. One way or another it is reflected in almost every religion and major national branches. We generally consider the name Maria to be originally Russian, Slavic as it is, since this name was borne by women at the beginning of the history of the Slavs, but we should not forget about other directions and versions of the origin of the name.

For example, one version says that the name Mary is Hebrew. Since it is mentioned in the canonical text of the Bible and is also found in the book of Exodus. It is worth noting that at that time the lives of men were described, but women were taken for granted with men and were not even mentioned. Accordingly, the mention of a woman’s name means that this person was very influential and carried a lot of weight in that society.

The name Mary is also mentioned in the oldest sources in Hebrew - מרים, which means “rejected.” Again, I would like to draw attention to the fact that, on the one hand, the name has a sad character in the description of the ancient representatives of the name, and on the other hand, the mention itself means special significance in this society.

Surprisingly, along with the position of mistress, the mother of Jesus bears this name. Which causes heated debate regarding the origins of Jesus' parents. They may have been of noble birth, but because of their beliefs they had to give up power, flee and lead a modest lifestyle. This version has not been confirmed, but has a logical explanation for why the government has always had a biased attitude towards them and the love of the people.

Which creates the appearance of calm, a certain detachment. Parents should know that the more distant she looks, the greater the storm of feelings boils inside Maria. On the one hand, she is sensitive and emotional, on the other hand, she does not like to show emotions. This makes her persistent from an early age and teaches her self-control.

Also, the husband needs to constantly look after his wife, support romantic relationship. Otherwise, Maria will get bored and her sexuality towards her husband will fade away, but when a suitor appears, she will be inflamed with all passion for him. At the same time, she will not leave her family, and will hide her relationship on the side for a long time.

Due to this closed nature, there may be nervous breakdowns, and in case of an unfortunate fate, even ending up in psychiatric hospitals for treatment.
