Alternate meanings for the name Marie?

We just found out that baby #2 is a girl and we're wanting to name her either Kaylee Marie or Kaylee Jo-Marie. Marie is a family name on both sides and not just a "filler" as some would say, but I hate the most common meaning, "bitter".



Do you know of any other origins and meanings for Marie??

Or know of a website where you can find multiple origins and meanings for the same name?

I know what you mean. I have the name Mary...and Catherine as a middle name. Sometimes when I'm feeling bitter about something, I blame it on my name. I was born in Poland and my birth certificate says Maria, but my mother had it Anglicized when we arrived in America when I was 5 yrs. old. I don't really like Mary or Maria, but do like what my Polish relatives would call me....either Marisha or Marila (spelling not sure). I especially like Marisha...how do you like Kaylee Marisha?

I only know of "bitter". This is the type of situation where I ignore the meaning, because I love Marie as a first name. I like Jo-Marie by the way, especially if you're not planning on having any more kids. If you are, then I would save Jo or Josephine for another little girl's middle name.

Looking up everything it looks like they are basing their meaning on it's latin root, regardless if it's an english, french, or hebrew names. babynames says it's a 'sea of bitterness' look at that, you thought you had a little bitterness and here you had a whole sea.



It's my middle name and I never knew it meant bitter, so I wouldn't worry too much about it. I've always thought it was a very pretty name, and feel bad for its reputation as filler. I may name any daughters I have Marie just to get it back on the map.



Congrats!



p.s. I loved the character kaylee on firefly the tv show :D
Marie (also spelled Maree) comes from the names Maria and Mary. It is a French name with the inherent meaning being bitterness, but the spiritual connotation is Consoled. The scripture verse for this name is Isaiah 2:11.
My middle name is Maree spelt this way. It is not as common but is pronounced the same.

Lauren Maree is my name and I love it.
