Girl name · 4 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Marin: 4 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 4 births in 2015.
From Gaelic roots, Marin derives from *muir*, meaning "sea," offering a beautifully fluid nature-inspired name. It also shares a lineage with the French Marin, a form of Marion or Marie, ultimately from Hebrew Mary, "beloved" or "bitter." Notable bearers include the celebrated American conductor Marin Alsop, a trailblazer for women in classical music. The name resonates geographically through Scotland's coastal associations and, internationally, with Marin County in California, though its etymology there traces to a Native American leader. A charming variant is the Scottish Màiri, while the unisex quality of Marin makes it a fresh, adaptable choice that carries both the depth of the ocean and timeless European elegance.
