History & Origin

Maryjane combines two long-established English names, Mary and Jane, written as one. It belongs to the tradition of pairing two classic names into a single double name. Its meaning rests on the two names it brings together rather than on a separate root of its own.

Run together, the two names give a homey, old-fashioned warmth, and the compound can also be split as Mary Jane.

Did you know? The meaning usually attached to Maryjane is 'origin uncertain', and that core idea is what gives the name most of its long-term appeal.
