History & Origin

Donnamarie is a compound of Donna and Marie. Donna is the Italian word for lady, hugely popular as a name in the 1950s; Marie is the French form of Mary, from the Hebrew Miriam. Joined into a single word, Donnamarie carries both — a graceful, devout-sounding pairing typical of mid-century naming.

Donnamarie crested around 1961, when both Donna and Marie were in fashion and double names were common, then faded. A woman given it then is in her sixties now. Written solid, it reads today as a warm, distinctly mid-century compound name.

Did you know? Donnamarie is a classic mid-century double name written as one word — the kind of Donna-Marie or Mary-Anne pairing that Catholic families favored in its day.
