Marlinne is English, German in Origin.
Marlinne is a modern feminine given name, most plausibly a stylized variant of Marlene/Marlena or Marline. Marlene arose in German as a contraction of Maria and Magdalena ("Mary Magdalene"), so Marlinne inherits associations of "beloved" or "wished-for child" from Maria and "of Magdala, a tower" from Magdalene. The doubled -nn- and terminal -e lend a soft, continental look reminiscent of Scandinavian and French feminine endings, without changing the underlying sense.
Use of Marlinne is rare, appearing mainly in late-20th- and early-21st-century English-language records among parents seeking a distinctive twist on Marlene. Its historical anchor is the surge of Marlene after actress Marlene Dietrich popularized the name internationally in the 1930s. Variants and cognates include Marlene, Marlena, Marleen (Dutch/German), Marline, Marlyn/Marlin, and Marlen/Marlenne; short forms include Lena, Lene, and Marli. Though graphically close to marlin (the fish), Marlinne is etymologically tied to Mary Magdalene rather than nautical terms.
