About Mariana
Mariana is that unusual name that is more than the sum of its parts. While Mary or Maria and Ana or Anna are both perfectly nice classic names, Mariana achieves a lyrical elegance that transcends them.
Unlike its near-soundalike Marianna, which is a combination of Maria and Anna, Mariana has its roots in Ancient Rome. It derives from the Roman name Marianus, from Marius, which ties to the war god Mars or to the Latin root mas, maris, meaning "male".
Mariana is also given to boys.
Pronounced mah-ree-AH-nuh.
As of October 2026, Mariana ranked #261 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #165 in 2005, Nameberry popularity #753.
