What Marianne means
Where Marianne comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Marianne is built from two Hebrew names. Marie descends from Miriam, Anne from Hannah, a name that meant "grace" or "favor." Put together, they give the name its short meaning: grace, from Mary and Anne.
France made the name a face. Marianne became the personification of the French Republic, the woman in a Phrygian cap who appears on stamps and town-hall busts. That civic role was attached long after the Hebrew origin, and it is why many people hear France in the name first.
In a Polish class register the variant Marianna might sit a few lines above Marian, the masculine form. All three trace back to the same pair of biblical names. The meaning holds across every one of them: grace.
