Marsenah is in Origin.

Marsenah is a rare feminine name formed as an embellished spelling of Marsena, a Persian personal name recorded in the Hebrew Bible (Esther 1:14) for one of the seven princes of Persia and Media. The added -ah reflects a common Hebrew-to-English feminine ending, giving the name a softer cadence. Its precise meaning remains uncertain; proposals linking it to Old Persian roots are unconfirmed, so Marsenah is best read as a historically attested courtly name with obscure etymology.

Usage has been sporadic in the English-speaking world since the late 19th century, often chosen by parents seeking a distinctive, scripture-adjacent option. Variants and near-variants include Marsena, Mersena, and Marcena; nicknames such as Marsie, Marse, and Sena are intuitive. Though exceedingly uncommon in records, the name fits stylistically with Marina, Selena, and Sabina - familiar sounds tempered by rarity - while retaining a quietly antique, Near Eastern aura.
