Some sources say differently. BtN used to say differently. It used to say
Marina "Means 'of the sea,' taken from the Latin title of the Virgin
Mary,
Stella Maris, meaning 'star of the sea.' When you look up
Maris, that meaning is still there. To me,
Marina means 'of the sea,' however, there's also an association with
Mary. Whether the origin is correct or not, the association is there. That's why I included it.
BTW, some experts say that
Mary's origin is Egyptian rather than Hebrew. Makes sense to me.
