Marieme

Meaning of Marieme

Marieme is a feminine given name of Arabic origin, functioning as a phonetic variant of Mariam—the Arabic form of the biblical Mary—whose etymological roots trace to the Hebrew Miriam. In Islamic and Christian traditions alike, this name evokes associations of grace, devotion and steadfastness, reflecting the veneration of Mary of Nazareth in both faiths. Phonetically rendered mah-ree-EM (/mɑːriːm/), Marieme has maintained a consistently rare but persistent presence in the United States, with annual occurrences ranging from five to eighteen newborns between 1999 and 2023. During that period, its Social Security Administration rank has fluctuated modestly between 885 and 977, underlining the name’s enduring appeal to parents seeking a distinctive yet historically resonant choice.
