From Hebrew / Latin

Marianna is a beautiful compound name joining Maria, from the Hebrew Miriam meaning beloved or wished-for child, with Anna, from the Hebrew Hannah meaning grace or God has graced me. Together the name carries a double blessing — beloved and gracious. It has been used across Italy, Spain, Portugal, Hungary and the Slavic nations for centuries, carried by saints, noblewomen and artists. The name has a sweeping, musical quality that feels both ancient and eternally fresh. Marianna has appeared in literature, opera and royal families throughout European history, and continues to be a cherished choice for parents who want a name of depth, beauty and timeless femininity.
