The Christian Bible never names Mary's mother. But Mary's father is named in Luke 3:23. It says, "Joseph was the son of Heli." Joseph was Mary's husband's name.

This could seem to contradict Matthew 1:16 that says that Joseph was the son of Jacob. These chapters follow two different chronologies. But since women weren't as well respected in the day, the Luke 3 chronology starts off with Joseph being the son of Heli, not Mary.

Matthew 1 and Luke 3 trace two different people. Their genealogies meet up with King David, and are the same beyond that. Heli was Mary's father, but we don't know who her mother is.

Catholic Answer:

Apocryphal writings and tradition confirm that Anne was the mother of Mary.
