Marriann
Marriann Origin and Meaning
Marriann is a feminine name that represents a spelling variation of Marian or Marianne. These names combine elements of Mary and Ann/Anne, both with Hebrew origins – Mary meaning 'bitter' or 'beloved' and Ann meaning 'grace.' This particular spelling with double 'r' and double 'n' emerged as a distinctive alternative to more traditional forms. Marriann saw some usage in the United States during the mid-20th century but remains relatively uncommon. The name carries religious connotations through its connection to Mary, mother of Jesus in Christian tradition. Its compound nature honors two classic feminine names, giving it depth and historical significance. While never among the most popular names, Marriann offers a slightly different take on a timeless naming tradition.
