Makarie is Greek in Origin.

In late antiquity the masculine Makarios gained prominence via revered saints (notably Macarius of Egypt), fueling a web of cognates: Latin Macarius, French Macaire, Spanish/Italian Macario, Russian/Ukrainian Makar/Makariy, Polish Makary, Serbian Makarije. Feminine forms include Makaria and Macaria; Makarie serves as a rare modern variant in French- and English-speaking circles. Related spellings you may encounter: Makarieh, Makari, and Makariah. Overall sense: “blessed; deeply fortunate.”
