Anna-Marie
Girl name · 19 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Anna-Marie: 19 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 5 births in 1979.
Anna-Marie is a graceful double-barrelled name that brings together the classic Hebrew Anna, meaning "grace" or "favour," and the French-Marie, Latin for "star of the sea" or "beloved." The original Hebrew form, Hannah, appears in the Bible as the mother of the prophet Samuel, lending the name deep spiritual resonance. Famous bearers include Anna-Marie Healy, a notable Scottish painter whose work captured the Highlands' landscapes, and Anna-Marie Murphy, an Irish-British actress known for her stage presence. The name's place connections are indirect, with the town of Anna in County Kerry sharing the name's root, and Mariehamn in Finland echoing the second component. A charming variant is Annamaria, popular across Europe, while the hyphenated form became especially common in Scotland from the 1970s onward.
