Ma. is a fancy way of saying Maria. It’s a name that means things like ‘of the sea,’ ‘bitter,’ ‘beloved,’ or ‘a pain in the ass.’ It’s also a nickname for Mary, which is basically the same thing but less annoying.
Ma. is my mom's name. She's not bitter. She's just mad at the world.
My cousin is called Ma. because she looks like a sea monster. No one argues with her.
My teacher said I was like Ma. because I'm 'beloved' and also a 'pain in the ass.'
