Marianne is a female name. It is the
French version of the Greek
Mariamne, which is a variant of
Mary, ultimately from the Hebrew
Miriam (
מִרְיָם Miryám), Mirjam (Aramaic: Mariam).[1][unreliable source?] In late
GreekMarianna (Μαριάννα) was used.
In 18th-century France, Marianne became a popular name as a variant of
Marian and
Marie. It can also be seen as a combination of Marie and
Anne. It gave inspiration to several double names such as Marie-Anne and Anne-Marie, as well as other variants such as Anna Maria, Ana-Maria and Marianna, and alternate spellings Mary Ann and Mary Anne. The combination of the two names has also been popular with
Christians because
Saint Anne is traditionally the name of the mother of the
Virgin Mary.
