Interestingly though, Henrietta Maria was named after her parents (Henry IV and Marie de Médicis / Maria de' Medici), and it's likely her mother's name came from their Catholic faith.

So Maryland was named after Henrietta Maria who was named after Marie de Médicis who was named after the biblical Mary. (Unless she was named after another Mary)
