History & Origin
Carriann is one of the run-together double names that families gave as a single first name, joining Carrie to Ann. Carrie is a friendly short form of Caroline, from Charles, 'free man'; Ann is Hannah, 'grace.' The blend has the neat, cheerful symmetry of its era, when Ann-endings turned many first names into two-part compounds.
Carriann was never common, given to only about fourteen girls a year around 1974 and fading through the 1980s. A woman named Carriann is around fifty today, born when Carrie and the -ann suffix were both fashionable, alongside Ruthann and Julieann.
