"Of the sea, from the sea"

From Latin / Danish

Maren means of the sea — from the Latin marinus, the Scandinavian/German form of Marina. Maren Morris is one of country music's biggest crossover stars. Frozen II's protagonist ventures beyond Arendelle. The name sounds like the sea whispering: two syllables of Scandinavian ocean, country-crossover brilliance, and the most elegantly maritime five letters.
