Marijn

Marijn is a Dutch given name derived from the Latin Marinus, meaning of the sea, itself rooted in mare, the Latin word for sea. It functions as both a masculine and feminine name in the Netherlands and Flanders, making it relatively unusual in its gender-neutral usage within the Dutch-speaking world. The name shares its origin with the saints Marina and Marinus, early Christian martyrs who helped spread the name across medieval Europe. Related forms include Marin, Marina, and Marino.
