The name that was used in Ireland (Eire) for The Blessed Virgin Mary was Muire and interestingly, her name was so honored that it was rarely used as a first name until the end of the fifteenth century. Then Máire became acceptable as a given name but the spelling Muire was reserved for the Blessed Mother.
