History & Origin

Mariane is a spelling of Marianne, blending Marie (Mary, from Hebrew Miriam) with Anne (from Hebrew Hannah, 'grace'). The trimmed spelling reflects French usage.

It was always uncommon - only a few dozen girls a year around its 1959 high point - and it stayed a soft, understated choice. It reads as a French-flavored classic compound.

Did you know? Marianne became a symbol of the French Republic, but as a given name it simply weds two enduring classics, Mary and Anne.
