Miryam (feminine singular proper name)

Morphological NotesGr,N,,,,,NFSI / VFSI = noun, feminine, singular, nominative or vocative, indeclinable. Though functioning in different cases syntactically (subject or direct address), the form Μαριάμ does not change due to its Semitic origin.
Rendering RationaleThe rendering "Miryam" preserves the underlying Hebrew form מִרְיָם rather than the later Anglicized "Mary," maintaining the name’s Semitic identity and continuity with the Hebrew Scriptures. The morphology indicates nominative feminine singular indeclinable (and in some instances vocative feminine singular), so the rendering reflects a singular female personal name, with vocative sense implied as "O Miryam" where context requires.
