Mariner is English in Origin.
Mariner is an English word name and occupational surname meaning “sailor, seafarer.” It descends from Middle English mariner, via Anglo-Norman/Old French, and ultimately from Latin marinus “of the sea” (mare, “sea”). As a surname it clustered in port towns and seafaring communities, and the given name evokes navigation, exploration, and coastal heritage.
As a given name, Mariner is very rare but fits the modern Anglophone trend for occupational and nautical names. It appears sporadically in British and American records and is reinforced in cultural memory by Coleridge’s The Rime of the Ancient Mariner (1798). Related forms include Marin (unisex), Marina and Marine (feminine), and Marino or Marinus (masculine); parallels in other languages are Spanish Marinero and Portuguese Marinheiro. Usable for any gender.
