Mary <- Maria <- (Miriam מרים) / (Maryām Μαριάμ)
Other versions include: Mīryam, Maryam, Miryam, Miriyam, Mirijam, Marium, Mariyam, Marijam, Meryem, Merjeme, etc.
Knowing this, could Ye-maya be the root?
Mar-Yam in reverse is Yam-Mar; Miri-Yam in reverse is Yam-Miri, etc.
Replacing the 'a' for 'i' and 'e' gives Yem-Mara, is this equivalent to Ye-Maya?
Yemaya - The Yoruba Queen of the Ocean; Mother of Water and Childbirth
Yemaya - The Hindi Goddess of the Ocean; Mother of All
Maybe there are other clues too?
