Annemarie

Annemarie Pronunciation

What Annemarie means
Where Annemarie comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Annemarie joins two names that traveled far before they met. Anne descends from the Hebrew Hannah, or Channah, which carried the sense of grace and favor. Marie comes from Maria, the Greek and Latin form of Miriam. German speakers fused the pair into a single compound, and it is in German-speaking lands that Annemarie settled.
The link to Hebrew sits in the first half. Hannah appears in the Book of Samuel as the mother who prayed for a child, and her name passed its grace to Anne, then to Anna, then to Annemarie. The second half points to Mary. Read in Polish, the whole reads as łaska plus Maria, grace and the mother's name bound in one word.
Real women have carried it. Annemarie Schimmel, the German scholar of Islamic thought, lectured and wrote under it for decades. Her books made the name familiar in libraries far from her lecture halls.
Picture a Polish class register with Annemarie written out in full. The teacher reads it slowly. The name splits cleanly back into grace and Maria.
