My first name Maria comes from an Italian origin which means sea of bitterness, desired child, and rebel.
Its significance comes from Mary the mother of the crucified Jesus Christ and the bitterness comes from her suffering. It can also mean beautiful and smart. My parents chose this name for me because I was the first born girl and my mother passed on her first name to me, so I can than pass it on to my first born female. In a sense my family continues the name Maria to keep the legacy of past generations. One of my sacred centers is my home because it is were my loved ones reside and its were I can be stress free. My home is my shelter and where I feel safe.
