In the name of Allah, the sole Almighty God, the most Beneficent the most Merciful...
If we ask people who has limited knowledge about Islam/Quran: Which is the only chapter in the Quran that was named after a woman? They would mostly predict it could be Prophet's wife (e.g. Khadija or Aisha) or his daughter Fatima. But, surprisingly it is Mary (Maryam in Arabic).
Mary, the mother of Isa (Jesus), holds a singularly exalted place in Islam as the only woman named in the Quran, which refers to her seventy times and explicitly identifies her as the greatest of all women.

In the Quran, her story is related in three Meccan chapters (19, 21, 23) and four Medinan chapters (3, 4, 5, 66), and the nineteenth chapter of the scripture, titled Mary (Surah Maryam), is named after her. * +

Mary was chosen twice by the Lord: O Mary! Verily Allah has chosen you and puried you and chosen you above the women of the worlds [3:42]; and the first choosing was her selection with glad tidings given to Imran. The second was that she became pregnant without a man, so in this regard, she was chosen over all other women in the world.

Conception of Jesus (peace be upon him)
And mention, [O Muhammad], in the Book [the story of] Mary, when she withdrew from her family to a place toward the east. And she took, in seclusion from them, a screen. Then We sent to her Our Angel, and he represented himself to her as a well-proportioned man. She said, Indeed, I seek refuge in the Most Merciful from you, [so leave me], if you should be fearing of Allah. He said, I am only the messenger of your Lord to give you [news of] a pure boy. She said, How can I have a boy while no man has touched me and I have not been unchaste? He said, Thus [it will be]; your Lord says, 'It is easy for Me, and We will make him a sign to the people and a mercy from Us. And it is a matter [already] decreed.'[19:16-21] * +

Titles and Attributes
(1) Qanitah: Mary is so called in sura 66:12.[33] The Arabic term implies the meaning, not only of constant submission to God, but also absorption in prayer and invocation, meanings that coincides with the image of Mary spending her childhood in the temple of prayer. In this way, Mary personifies prayer and contemplation in Islam.
(2) Siddiqah: She who confirms the truth or She who has faith. Mary is called Siddiqah twice in the Quran (sura 5 (Al-Ma'ida), ayat 7375 and 66:12). The term has also been translated, She who believes sincerely completely.
(3) Sajidah: She who prostrates to God in worship. The Quran states: O Mary! Worship your Lord devoutly: prostrate yourself. While in Sujud, a Muslim is to praise God and glorify Him. In this motion, which Muslims believe to be derived from Marian nature, hands, knees and the forehead touch the ground together.
(4) Rakiah: She who bows down to God in worship. The Quran states: O Mary! Bow down in prayer with those men, who bow down. The command was repeated by angels only to Mary, according to the Muslim view. Ruku' in Muslim prayer during prayer has been derived from Mary's practice.
(5) Tahirah: She who was purified.
(6) Mustafia: She who was chosen. The Quran states: O Mary! God has chosen you and purified you and again he has chosen you above all women of all nations of the worlds. * +

Together with wife of Pharaoh (Aasia), Mary is a role model and excellent example for entire Muslims
((And Allah presents an example of those who believed: the wife of Pharaoh, when she said, My Lord, build for me near You a house in Paradise and save me from Pharaoh and his deeds and save me from the wrongdoing people.... And [the example of] Mary, the daughter of 'Imran, who guarded her chastity, so We blew into [her garment] through Our angel, and she believed in the words of her Lord and His scriptures and was of the devoutly obedient)) Quran 66:11-12. * +

the origin of the name Mary refers to something liquid but it's beer, not waters. The name Mary literally translates as : a rich array of malt. Fact checked.
