Marian
This is a Polish version of Marius, but not a name you'd want to stick your American son with.
Marian
Marian's (and sister spelling Marion's) image has gone through a sea change of late, recalling less's middle-aged matron and more Robin Hood's romantic Maid Marian. Some influences: the SJ PArker-M. Broderick twin daughter Marion and the glamorous French actress Marion Cotillard.
At one time Marian was considered the female form and Marion the male--after all, macho John Wayne was born Marion.
