      German

  2. Marni

    • Description:

      Marni is a feminine name with multiple possible origins. Some consider it a diminutive of Marina or Marna, derived from Latin meaning "of the sea," while others trace it to Hebrew origins as a variant of Marnie, meaning "rejoice" or to Scandinavian roots where it relates to the word for "marine." With its crisp sound and modern feel, Marni gained moderate recognition in the 1960s and experienced small peaks of usage in the 1970s and early 2000s. The fashion house Marni, founded in 1994, has given the name additional stylish associations. Marni appeals to parents seeking a short, distinctive name that sounds contemporary while avoiding trendiness. Its simple elegance and international usability make it a subtly sophisticated choice.

      English

    • Meaning:

    • Origin:

      Italian hereditary title of nobility

The title is most familiar today thanks to Georgina Chapman and Karen Craig's fashion house, Marchesa.
