Miriam
"Mary" is the Hebrew "Miriam." People's names are all changed in the Bible because they were first changes in the Latin Vulgate, where "Mary" became "Maria." Other changes such as "Jesus" from "Joshua" and "James" from Jacob are bigger, but translators don't want these people to sound as Jewish as they were.
People don't recognize us until we speak their names.
