Does anyone know what the origin of my name is?

My name is Marynthia, but in some papers it is spelled Maryntia. I really would like to know where it comes from or what it means. Thanks!

Does anyone know what the origin of my name is?
It is possibly derived from the name Amarynthia, which is a name associated with the Greek goddess Artemis (the daughter of Zeus and Leto, twin of Apollo). She was worshiped as the goddess of the wilderness, wild animals and the hunt, one of the most widely revered of the Greek deities. The name Amarynthia became associated with Artemis because of a festival held in her honor at Amarynthus.
Reply:It could be an alternate spelling/pronounciation of Amaranth, which is a type of flower. Amarynthus is also a hunter of Artemis. Pretty name!

Reply:I think Marynthia is either English or Greek.





Marynthia might have came from Mary and Cynthia. Mary means like 'beloved' or ' love'. Cynthia means 'woman from Knythos'. Knythos was the mountain where mythical twins Artemis and Apollo were born. So together, Mary and Cynthia means 'beloved woman from Knythos'.





Marynthia might have also came from Mirinda or Miranda. Miranda means 'admirable'.





And if you have ever watched the movie 'Twitches', the twin witches who were separated from their mother at birth, were originally named Artemis and Apollo. And their real mother's name was Miranda.
Reply:It's possible that your parents just "made up" the name. I have friends who named thier daughter Mattica (after him-Matt %26amp; her-Monica). If this is the case for you then your origin would be as followed:





Mary-


Originally a Middle English Anglicized form of the French Marie, derived from Latin Maria, and ultimately from the Hebrew name of uncertain origin "Miryam". This is the New Testament form of Miriam, which St. Jerome derives from elements meaning 'drop of the sea' (Latin 'stilla maris', later altered by folk etymology to 'stella maris': star of the sea). Mary was the name of the Virgin Mary, mother of Jesus Christ, who has been a subject of cult from earliest times. As the name of the Blessed Virgin, Mary was at first considered too holy for ordinary use. Its use began in England in the 12th century, and by the 16th century was the most frequently used name for girls.
