From Wikipedia
In Pythagorean numerology, every letter has a value from 1 to 9. Adding the letters of Maria yields these three numbers — a playful read on the name's character.
An 11-year gap separates Maria's two peaks: 10,147 births in 1964 by raw count, #30 by rank in 1975. The recent trend is a modest 12% gain across the last ten years, to 3,105 births in 2024.
The grand total, 567,411 births since 1880, ranks among the larger figures in this batch.
Marie Curie and Corazon Aquino, the Philippines' first female president, give the name real scientific and political weight across the 20th century, alongside Polish Nobel poet Wisława Szymborska.
