I have SEEN Marianna or, if you like, Марианна, listed as a rare name, but one in use in Russia. This woman is one example: Marianne Pistohlkors. Her real name was Marianna Erikovna Pistohlkors, she was born and raised in Russia and was connected to the royal family. Her father was apparently ethnically German, but one who spoke Russian as his native language. Unless you happen to be an expert in Russian etymology, I suggest you leave it alone. -- Bookworm857158367 ( talk) 16:37, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
- I'd also add that name use evolves. Prior to the early 20th century the name Viktoria was not in use in Russia although the name Viktor was. Then one of the grand dukes married Princess Victoria Melita, known as Grand Duchess Viktoria Feodorovna in Russia, and I'd guess that was the impetus behind the name's becoming more popular in Russia. As for Marianna, I recall also seeing it a couple of years ago as the name of a little girl born in Russia who was adopted by an American couple. They explained when I questioned the choice that Marianna is a very rare name but one that is used in Russia. Now it's possible that the name may derive from the Roman Marius and not a form of Mary and Anna, but that's also an argument made about the name in the English language. It seems that it could be derived from several possible root names. --

I have to agree with the owner of this page here, Bookworm. I know you've had your fights and you're a tough scrapper--I admire. Here, however, I think you ought not throw into people's faces that you are allegedly some kind of expert in Russian language and history. You have an abrasive way of stating things that you think may be correct. This Mariana issue is one of them. I'd say YOU'D best leave this issue alone--you are beginning to remind me of Aggiebean! 76.195.83.61 ( talk) 14:04, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

- No, my friend, if you are Russian speaker I respect that! I do not say it about you. I say Bookworm is not correct here. Also I agree and say Mariana is not traditionally Russian name...I agree that it does NOT change to ANNA. Dos vidanya. 76.195.83.61 ( talk) 15:10, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

- Because it is a rare name in use in Russia.
Marianne Pistolkors is the example I gave you before. It's a combination of the names Mary and Anne. I don't agree with its removal. --

- Listen. This woman wasnt Russian. She was Latvian - small nation on the territory of the Russian Empire. On the territory of Russia on their native lands live lots of different nations: tatars, chechens, chukchas, etc. And they are all have their own languages and names. So in Russian language, Russian culture, Russian nation there is no name Marianna. The next question is ref link - there is no proof of using this name in Russia. I copied a piece of that page here, read it: "MARIANNA Gender: Feminine
