Ana-Marie is in Origin.
Ana-Marie unites two ancient biblical names. Ana is the Spanish/Portuguese and Slavic form of Anna, from Hebrew Channah, meaning "grace" or "favor." Marie is the French form of Mary (Hebrew Miryam), whose debated roots yield readings such as "beloved," "wished-for child," "rebellious," or the poetic "drop of the sea" (via Stella Maris). Together the compound suggests "grace of Mary" or "gracious and beloved." The hyphen signals a single double name rather than a first-middle pairing.
Hyphenated Anne/Mary blends have long flourished in Catholic Europe to honor Saint Anne and the Virgin Mary; Anne-Marie rose in France in the 19th-20th centuries, while Ana-Maria is common in Iberia and Romania. Ana-Marie, mixing Iberian Ana with French Marie, appears in Francophone and multicultural settings. Variants and related forms include Ana-Maria, Anne-Marie, Anna-Maria, Annemarie/Annamarie, Anna Maria, Ana María, Marie-Anne, and Maria Ana. Short forms: Ana, Marie, Annie, Mari, Mimi.
