Name 200964

Name
Enomarianya
Gender
unknown
Structure
compound
Type
hybrid
Genealogy
Semito-Nubian
Origin
local
Etymology
Meaning: perhaps ⲉⲛⲟ-, 'O mother!' + ⲙⲁⲣⲓⲁ + ⲁⳡ-, 'to live' + -ⲁ = 'mother Marianya' < 'mother «living Mary»'. The element ⲉⲛⲟ- at the beginning may not be an integral part of the name, but a title 'mother', analogous to ⲡⲁⲡⲟ, 'father', attested with names of some Nubian bishops and being most probably Nubian rendering of ⲁⲃⲃⲁ. This is all the more probable since ⲉⲛⲟ is separated by a mid-dot from the rest of the name.
