Mariame Origin and Meaning
The name Mariame is a girl's name.
Mariame is a feminine name with multicultural roots, primarily used in West African countries like Senegal and Mali, as well as in parts of the Middle East. It is a variant of Mariam, the Arabic form of Mary, which has Hebrew origins meaning 'sea of bitterness', 'rebelliousness', or more positively, 'wished-for child'. In many African cultures, Mariame carries connotations of grace, purity, and devotion. The name has gained some international recognition as African diaspora communities have grown worldwide, though it remains relatively uncommon in Western countries. Its melodic quality and meaningful heritage make it an increasingly appreciated choice for parents seeking a name with global significance.
