<p>Marée is a feminine name with French origins, meaning 'tide' or 'sea tide.'

The accent mark gives the name a distinctly French aesthetic and pronunciation (mah-RAY), adding sophistication and musical quality. While uncommon in English-speaking countries, Marée has maintained modest usage in French-speaking regions. The name appeals to parents drawn to water imagery and French linguistic traditions.
