Mariann Origin and Meaning

The name Mariann is a girl's name of French origin.

Mariann is a feminine name that functions as a variant of Marian or a combination of Maria and Ann. With roots in both Hebrew and Latin traditions, it carries the meanings of 'bitter' (from Maria/Mary) and 'grace' (from Ann), though the original 'bitter' meaning has evolved to be associated with the beloved biblical figure rather than its literal definition. Mariann peaked in popularity in the United States during the 1950s but has since become less common, giving it a vintage charm. The name has a melodious quality with its flowing syllables and combines traditional religious associations with a slightly distinctive spelling. Mariann offers the nickname options of Mari, Ann, or Anna, providing versatility for the bearer. In many European countries, particularly in Hungary, Mariann remains a classic choice.
