Marian
Marian is a masculine given name in German and a female first name in English , as well as a family name .
Origin and meaning
As a male, the name is borrowed from the Latin Marianus , a derivation from the Roman gentile name Marius , which was also worn as a cognomen and meant "belonging to Marius", in Christianity then crossed over with the adjective marianus derived from the name Maria and thus the secondary one Meaning "belonging to Mary (the mother of Jesus)" assumed (see main article Marianus ). The female Latin minor form was Mariana . In the Romance languages , the name was transferred with unambiguous gender endings ( French. M. Marian , w. Mariane , Italian and Spanish. Each m. Mariano , w. Mariana ), and the female form Mariane also exists in German .
The feminine usage of Marian (instead of Mariane ), which began in Middle English and also occurs in Dutch , may have arisen from the similarity of sounds with Mary Ann or Marion , since the most famous late medieval name bearer Maid Marian (also Maid Marion ), the legendary lover of Robin Hood , it is assumed that the name couple Robin and Marianne (or Marion ), popular in popular old and central French poetry , is in the background .
