Marre is in Origin.

Marre is a compact, modern given name used in the Low Countries and Scandinavia, most often as a short form of Maria/Marie (ultimately from Hebrew Miryam) or of Nordic Marit/Margareta, and in Sweden as a nickname for Mårten/Martin. Its meanings follow these roots: from Mary/Miriam, interpretations include “beloved” or “wished‑for child” (sometimes “bitter” or “sea”); from Margaret, “pearl”; from Martin, “of Mars/war‑like.” The name functions as unisex - more common for girls in Dutch and Flemish usage, and as a male nickname in Swedish.

Documented as a familiar pet form in Scandinavian and Dutch records, Marre has increasingly appeared as an independent given name since the late 20th century, aligning with the trend toward brisk, two‑syllable names. Variants and related forms include Mare, Mari, Mara, Marie, Maria, Marit, Frisian Marrit, and Swedish Mårre. Its flexible roots give Marre a blend of softness and strength with pan‑European resonance.
