Mari%c3%ablle

Mariëlle is a French diminutive form of Marie, itself the French rendering of the Latin Maria, which derives from the Hebrew name Miriam, whose meaning is debated but often interpreted as beloved, sea of bitterness, or drop of the sea. The diminutive suffix lends the name an affectionate, familiar quality that became popular in French-speaking regions during the twentieth century. It is closely related to Mariël, Marielle, and the broader family of Maria-derived names found across European traditions.
