The baby name Ana-Maria is a Female name , 5 syllables long and is pronounced English: /ˌænə məˈriːə/ (AH-nə-MAH-REE-ə); Spanish: /aˈna maˈɾi.a/ (ah-NAH mah-REE-ah).
Ana-Maria is Portuguese in Origin.
Ana-Maria is a hyphenated feminine compound used widely in Romance and Slavic traditions. Ana derives from Hebrew Channah (“grace, favor”) via Greek/Latin Anna, while Maria comes from Hebrew Miryam through Greek/Latin Maria, a name with debated meanings - often “beloved,” “wished-for child,” sometimes “bitter,” or poetically linked to “sea.” Together, the pairing evokes “grace” joined to Marian devotion, read as “grace of Mary” or “favored and beloved.”
The double name gained prominence in Catholic and Orthodox cultures as an homage to Saint Anne and the Virgin Mary, appearing in early modern parish records and remaining popular into the present in Spain, Portugal, Romania, Croatia, and across Latin America and the Philippines. Common variants include Ana Maria/Ana María (unhyphenated), Anamaria, Anna-Maria and Annamaria (Italian/German), Anne-Marie and Annemarie (French/German/Dutch), and Anamarija (South Slavic). Diminutives range from Ana, Anni/Annie, and Nani to Mari, Maru, or Mia.
