Meaning & History
Mariëlle is a Dutch diminutive of Maria. The name Maria, from which Mariëlle derives, is a Latin form of Greek Μαρία, itself from Hebrew מִרְיָם (see Mary). While Maria has been a widespread name across Europe, borne by queens and saints, Mariëlle represents a particularly Dutch affectionate form, often used as a given name in its own right in the Netherlands. The pronunciation features a diaeresis over the 'e', indicating that the two vowels are pronounced separately. Common related Dutch diminutives include Marieke, Marijke, Maaike, Mariëtte, and Mariska. Variants in other languages include Afrikaans Marietjie and Swedish Marie.
