Maree

Maree is an English variant spelling of Marie, itself the French and Latin form of Mary, which derives from the Hebrew name Miryam. The precise meaning of Miryam is debated, with proposed roots including "beloved," "bitter," or "drop of the sea." The name has been borne by countless notable figures across history, most prominently the Virgin Mary in Christian tradition. Closely related forms include Maria, Marie, Mary, and Marée.
