What is the meaning of the name Mariet ?

The baby name Mariet is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced MAR-ee-et (English: /ˈmær.i.ət/; Dutch: /maˈrit/).

Mariet is Dutch, French in Origin.

Mariet is a Dutch- and French-rooted diminutive of Maria/Marie, built with the -et suffix and often used as an independent given name. It appears in parish registers of the Low Countries and French-speaking regions from the early modern period, and traveled to South Africa through Dutch influence. Ultimately from Hebrew Miryam, its meanings are variously interpreted as "beloved," "wished-for child," "sea of bitterness," or, via medieval Latin, "star of the sea."

Close variants include Mariette (French), Mariët (Dutch diacritic form), and Marietta (Italianate/French). Related Dutch pet forms are Marietje, Marieke, and Marijke; broader cognates include Mary, Marie, Maria, Miriam, and Mirjam. Usage has been modest, with pockets of mid-20th century popularity in Belgium and the Netherlands. Today Mariet feels vintage yet familiar, bridging the international appeal of Maria with a brief, lilting ending.
