Annmarie

Girl name · 231 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Annmarie: 231 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 19 births in 1982.

Annmarie is a modern compound name, blending Ann and Marie. Ann derives from the Hebrew Hannah, meaning 'grace' or 'favour', while Marie is the French and Latin form of Mary, rooted in the Hebrew Miriam, often interpreted as 'beloved' or 'wished-for child'. This elegant pairing, popular in the mid-20th century, has no widely known historical bearers, but the name's components are famously linked to Saint Anne, mother of the Virgin Mary. There are no major places named Annmarie, though the name shares its roots with countless Ann and Mary variants worldwide. Annmarie is sometimes spelled Ann-Marie, and the hyphenated version was particularly common in Scotland during the 1970s and 1980s, reflecting the enduring appeal of classic names combined.
