The name Marjane is a girl's name of Arabic, Persian origin meaning "coral".

Ultimately derived from the Arabic word for coral, Marjane is an alternative form of the Persian and Kazakh name Marjan. A nature and sea inspired choice that also links to a reddish-pinkish-orangey hue, Marjane is notably borne by the illustrator and film director Marjane Satrapi, creator of the graphic novel Persepolis and its film adaptation. 
 
Marjane may also be considered a compound name, blending the classic choices Marie, Mary, or Margaret with equally traditional Jane. 
 
Additionally, it appears in the title of the Croatian song, "Marjane, Marjane", which celebrates the Marjan hill, located by the city of Split, on which a large city flag is flown. It was popular among anti-fascists in World War II, and in this case, the name of the hill is likely a Slavic form of Marianus (or Marius).
