Ana maria

Ana maria Origin and Meaning

The name Ana maria is a girl's name.

Ana Maria is a beautiful feminine compound name with deep historical roots. Ana comes from the Hebrew Hannah meaning "grace" or "favor," while Maria derives from the Hebrew Miriam, possibly meaning "sea of bitterness," "rebelliousness," or "wished-for child." This elegant combination is particularly popular in Spanish and Portuguese-speaking countries, where it carries strong religious connections to Saint Anne (mother of the Virgin Mary) and the Virgin Mary herself. The name transcends cultures and remains timelessly elegant across generations. While used consistently throughout history, Ana Maria saw particular popularity in the late 20th century and continues to be cherished for its classic sound and meaningful heritage.
