What is the meaning of the name Marianna ?

The baby name Marianna is a Female name , 4 syllables long and is pronounced /ˌmæriˈænə/ (MAIR-ee-AN-ə),/ˌmɑːriˈænə/ (mah-ree-AN-uh),Italian: /mariˈanna/ (mah-ree-AHN-nah).

Marianna is Greek, Hebrew in Origin.

Marianna is a Latinized compound of Maria and Anna, merging the Hebrew names Miryam and Channah. Miryam's etymology is debated, commonly glossed as "beloved," "wished-for child," or linked to "sea," while Channah means "grace, favor." Together, Marianna evokes "beloved grace" or "grace of Mary," and has long served as a devotional double name in many Christian cultures.

Documented in Renaissance and Baroque Europe, the form flourished in Italy, Poland, Hungary, and Greek-speaking regions, then entered English use in the 18th century, remaining rarer than Marianne or Mariana. The single-n Mariana dominates in Iberia and Latin America; French and Scandinavian Marianne and English Mary Ann/Mary Anne reflect the same pairing. International variants and cognates include Marianna (Italian, Polish, Hungarian, Greek Marianna/Μαριάννα), Marijana (South Slavic), and Mariyana (Bulgarian). Familiar short forms range from Mari, Mia, and Ria to Ana, Annie, Anya, and Ania.
