Sarah/Sarai, the wife of Abraham and mother of Isaac, with 59 mentions in The Bible.

Esther just misses first place with 57 mentions (counting Hadassah in Esther 2:7), Rachel has 48 mentions, Leah has 34, and Rebekah rounds out the top five with 31.

Jezebel has 23 mentions, Mary, the mother of Jesus, has 19 mentions by name (and a few more in John as the mother of Jesus), Miriam has 14, Mary Magdalene and Ruth both have 13, Hagar has 12, Delilah has 6, and Eve is mentioned by name only four times, and only twice in Genesis!

(These totals are from counting and recounting the lists in Strong's Concordance, which is a great way of settling questions like this. The Concordance covers the King James Version. For each woman, alternate spellings and possessive forms like "Sarah's" are included in the totals.)

Answer

Probably Mary (mother of Jesus). She's referred to constantly throughout the New Testament, through Acts etc.

Most characters aren't referred to much outside the book in which they first appear, but Mary is.

AnswerEsther is referred to 53 times in the book of Esther and Mary is mentioned 19 times in the synoptic Gospels as Mary and 9 times as the mother of Jesus in the Gospel of John and once in Acts.

Even though Mary is mentioned less than Esther and not after Acts she certainly is mentioned more widely. The prophecy of Isaiah 7 v 14 also refers to her.

AnswerI've always heard that it was Sarah, the wife of Abraham. She is mentioned in total 58 times, mostly in Genesis, but also 4 times in the New Testament.
