Myriamne is a rare variant of Mariamne, the Hellenized form of the Hebrew name Miryam. It appears as an erudite or literary spelling likely blending French Myriam with the Greek -ne ending, and evokes the name borne by the Hasmonean princess Mariamne, famed wife of Herod the Great, as recorded by Josephus. In late antique and medieval Christian literature, Mariamne/Mariamme also names a female disciple, sometimes identified as Mary Magdalene or a sister of the apostle Philip, giving the form a long, cross-cultural history.

Variants include Mariamne, Mariamme, Mariam, Miriam/Miryam, Maryam, Myriam, Mary, Marie, and Maria. As a Miriam/Mary form, its meaning is debated: many scholars trace it to an Egyptian root mr "love," yielding "beloved," while Hebrew-based explanations propose "rebellion," "wished-for child," or "bitterness/sea." The name's enduring appeal lies in its antique elegance and its deep biblical and Hellenistic associations.
