History & Origin
Marinna is an elaborated spelling of Marina, from the Latin marinus, 'of the sea'. Borne by early Christian saints and used across Europe, Marina has a serene, watery meaning, and the Marinna spelling doubles the n as a modern American flourish while keeping the sound.
It was a rare late-century-to-modern choice, most visible around 1994 and lingering into the twenty-first century. A Marinna could be a Gen-Xer or younger; the spelling is uncommon while Marina remains a graceful international standard.
