Historical Usage
Mario of Sicily, also known as Saint Marius of Averna, was a bishop and abbot who lived in the 11th century. He is best known for his miraculous healing of a leper, which led to the foundation of a monastery in his honor.
11th century
Mario Savio was a student activist and leader during the Free Speech Movement at the University of California, Berkeley in the late 1960s. He is remembered for his famous quote 'There is a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can't take part! And you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop! And you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you're free, the machine will be prevented from working at all!', which became a rallying cry for the civil rights movement in the US.
