History & Origin

Normajean welds Norma to Jean. Norma comes from the Latin 'norma' (standard, rule) and was spread by Bellini's opera Norma; Jean is the French feminine of John, 'God is gracious.' Run together as one name, it fits the mid-century vogue for compound names and gained extra fame from Marilyn Monroe's birth name, Norma Jeane.

It was never common as a single written name, appearing in small numbers from the nineteen-twenties onward and reaching only about fifteen girls in its best year around the mid-nineteen-thirties. It reads as a vintage compound rather than a modern pick.

Did you know? Normajean is forever tied to Marilyn Monroe, born Norma Jeane; the run-together spelling reflects a mid-century American love of compound double names like Bettyjean and Maryann.
