Mamrie is English in Origin.

Mamrie is a very rare feminine given name in English, likely a modern American elaboration. It most plausibly derives from Mamie, the 19th‑century nickname for Mary, or from a blend of Mamie and Marie. As a Mary‑based form, its deep root is the Hebrew name Miryam/Mariam; scholars debate the exact meaning, with proposals including “beloved,” “wished‑for child,” and “sea of bitterness,” later associated in Latin with “star of the sea.”

In records, Mamrie rarely appears in earlier vital registers, though phonetic cousins like Mamie and Mayme were popular in the United States around 1880–1910. The name has gained contemporary notice through comedian Mamrie Hart, lending it quirky, approachable flair. Variants and related forms include Mamie, Mayme, Mame, Marie, Mary, Maria, and the Scottish Gaelic Mairi; short forms might mirror those of Mary, such as Mae or Mimi.
