  • Madonna (/məˈdɒnə/) is a name from the 16th century, originally used as a respectful form of address to an Italian woman. It comes from Old Italian phrase ma donna which means "my lady". It was later adopted as one of titles for Mary, mother of Jesus in Roman Catholic tradition in the 17th century. Since the late-20th century, according to various international observers, the name has become prominently associated with American singer Madonna. She registered her name for trademark in the United States during the 1980s. Her trademark was also recognized internationally when she won a legal case in 2000 through the United Nations' arbitration at the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). (en)
