Maryanna
Meaning of Maryanna
The name Maryanna, pronounced muh-ree-AHN-uh (/məˈriːænə/), merges two time-honored Hebrew names, Mary and Anna, each carrying deep biblical resonance. Mary, from the Hebrew Miryam, evokes “bitter sea” or “wished-for child,” while Anna, rooted in Hannah, conveys grace or favor; together they suggest a blend of steadfastness and grace. Found in English-speaking records since the late nineteenth century, Maryanna has maintained a modest but steady presence on U.S. birth charts, typically ranking in the mid-900s in recent years. The name’s classical roots and measured cadence offer a sense of enduring elegance without overt flamboyance. Though it seldom headlines popularity lists, its quiet charm appeals to parents seeking a dignified yet distinctive choice.
