Mary's title of <i>stella maris</i> was first proposed by St. Jerome, in his treatise <i>Liber de nominibus hebraicis</i> (probably around AD 390), in which he explains the etymology of Hebrew names. He quotes unidentified sources as explaining the name of Mary as <i>smyrna maris</i>, literally <i>bitterness of the sea</i>. The Hebrew word <i>miriam</i> indeed refers to bitterness - it is explained as such in the anonymous Jewish account <i>The life of Moses</i>. St. Jerome dismisses the 'bitter' etymology, however, and proposes to change her title to <i>stella</i> maris. In order to justify his proposal, he quotes <i>Syrus</i>, most likely his contemporary St. Ephraem Syrus, who had insisted on Mary's status as <i>domina</i> or mistress. | Mary's title of <i>stella maris</i> was first proposed by St. Jerome, in his treatise <i>Liber de nominibus hebraicis</i> (probably around AD 390), in which he explains the etymology of Hebrew names.

General information
Hymn to the Virgin Mary (8th cent., author anon.)
Liturgical use: Hymn at Vespers on feasts of the Virgin Mary.
Mary's title of stella maris was first proposed by St. Jerome, in his treatise Liber de nominibus hebraicis (probably around AD 390), in which he explains the etymology of Hebrew names. He quotes unidentified sources as explaining the name of Mary as smyrna maris, literally bitterness of the sea. The Hebrew word miriam indeed refers to bitterness - it is explained as such in the anonymous Jewish account The life of Moses. St. Jerome dismisses the 'bitter' etymology, however, and proposes to change her title to stella maris. In order to justify his proposal, he quotes Syrus, most likely his contemporary St. Ephraem Syrus, who had insisted on Mary's status as domina or mistress.
