Miriam
Moses's older sister
Miriam is a Hebrew name, the original form of Mary.
In the Bible, Miriam is the sister of Moses and Aaron, a prophetess who led the Israelites in song after crossing the Red Sea.
The name remains in use today, sometimes chosen for its Old Testament roots or to honor Jewish heritage: Miriam was named after her great-grandmother.
