This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Mary (Mariam). Aramaic form in Aleph B W, though Maria in Joh 19:25. Clearly the old familiar tone of Jesus was in the pronunciation of her name.
Rabboni (Rabbounei). Aramaic again for Didaskale (Teacher), “my Teacher.” In N.T. only here and Mar 10:51 though practically the same as Rabbi. See Joh 11:28 for “the Teacher” (Rabbi). These two simple words tell the great fact that Christ is risen and Mary has seen him. One says little in really great moments.
