History & Origin
Danamarie reflects the custom, strong in the later twentieth century, of joining a first name and the middle Marie into a single flowing name. Dana brings a crisp, unisex sound, and Marie adds a soft, traditional close tied to Mary, so the compound reads as familiar even though the fused spelling is unusual.
Danamarie appeared mainly in the 1980s and 1990s, the heyday of Marie-compounds like Annemarie and Rosemarie. A girl named Danamarie then would be in her thirties or forties now, a Generation X or millennial choice.
