Yeah so you didn't post what sort of music. I still wager that there are lots and lots of songs about Jesus and the Apostles, and many less about Mary. Two millenia of that and then lots of newer songs about women. That's my take.

Um, they have to be DIFFERENT names. You can use Mary and Jesus once each.

Also, you didn't follow directions. The names have to be in the titles.

OK I missed the title bit, but you didn't say that we could not use multiple songs about one person. I still think that being a male-dominated universe for millenia, there are many more songs about men. And that Jesus and the other major male prophets were the main people. Your generic question was about whether songs are NAME men or women. And I really think that life was mostly about men for the longest time.

For that same reason, the past 50 years have lots of songs about women because men were the ones getting the singing contracts. Like Tori had issues releasing an album one time because Sarah M. was also releasing that week. And men in the past 50 years made all their dough trying to entice women, because that was where women spent their cash. Until they got married and had a million babies.

Sometimes I think you're more of an angry feminist than I am.
