"Maryam" was suggested by goggles8. Her name comes from the Sanskrit counterpart of Virgo, which is 'Kanya'; and 'Maryam' is the Arabic name for 'Mary', as in the Virgin Mary. 'Marya' is also the name of Dracula's daughter, Countess Marya Zaleska.

Imagine if she hoped it was her husband's child and carried on with the pregnancy, and only after birth, with paternity test results, discovered the child's father was a rapist. Would she be permitted to kill the infant then because of the father's crime? Obviously not. Likewise, we may not kill an unborn child because of her father's crime.” During the second year of the time spent on the meteor, Kanaya expresses admiration of Porrim, and states that she finds her Dancestor intimidating. Since this point, however, the two appear to have become friends. Porrim has taught Kanaya how to turn her rainbow drinker glow on and off, among other things. They have the most comfortable relationship of any troll dancestors, as Terezi feels vastly overshadowed by Latula, Karkat despises Kankri, and Meenah, while fond of Feferi, can't help but instinctively try to kill her on sight. Some of the girls there thought I was drunk. The girls who had taken me there knew something was wrong, and they got a colleague to take me outside. Pe zi ce trecea, Miriam se simţea tot mai obosită.

Iar acum, întreaga poveste a ajuns în paginile unei cărţi semnată de Miriam - „The Naked Truth“ („Adevărul gol-goluţ“, în trad.), relevă „The Daily Mail“. Mary could have been called a virgin because of her charisma, strength, and power to support her son.

I felt as though, this is my child, this is my baby. I felt as if I was on death row walking towards the abortion clinic and I suddenly said 'if you want to kill this baby, you will have to kill me'.
