What is the male equivalent of the name Mary?

Mario.

The actual name of Mary is 'Miyam' and, while I'm not certain, I'm guessing that it's probably 'Michael' Check 9[newadvert.com] Link no longer exists0. Hope this helps.

In English, there is no direct male equivalent of Mary. The name Marion, while it has been used by some males (it was John Wayne's first name) is normally used as a female name.

The name Mario is the italian male version of Mary, the female being Maria. It is a perfectly acceptable first name. In France, the name Marie (the French Mary) is often used for men when attached to a male name, so we have Jean-Marie or Charles-Marie. This is similar to the practise in Ireland of giving boys 'Mary' as a second name. This practise seems to have died out only in the last 30 years.

I'm inclined to doubt whether Mario is strictly the male version of Mary/Maria. Mario is usually accented on the first syllable (not on the second, like Maria), and I suspect that it's the Roman gentilitial name Marius, unconnected with the Hebrew Miryam. But no doubt Italians generally regard it as equivalent to Mary.
