About Marianne
A midcentury Catholic classic that's not chosen by many parents today. Leonard Cohen fans might think of the beautiful song So Long, Marianne, named for his lover and muse Marianne Ihlen.
The meaning of Marie is uncertain, but theories include "drop of the sea" (from Hebrew roots mar "drop" and yam "sea"); "bitter" (from Hebrew marah "bitterness"); and "beloved" (from the Egyptian root mr).
Marianne is also given to boys.
Pronounced mair-ee-AN.
As of October 2026, Marianne ranked #1828 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #139 in 1957.
