Is Maria mainly used as a name in Spanish culture?

[AdvntrsinOdyC]

is it ok to have an Irish/Italian Maria?

 

[Libre]

There are also Marias in Holland and Germany. And I would think in Scandinavian countries although I have never met one from there.
"Maree" in Maltese.

 

[Baps .]

Yes, I have a friend who is Irish/Italian and she has just called her daughter Maria Sophie

 

[I Try.]

yes of course it is.
I know a girl who has no Spanish back ground who is called Maria.
I love that name. I also love Marina and Marine.

Maria is a popular name in Spain, Italy, Portugal and Latin America, but it can be found just about anywhere in the world.
