About the name Mariana
The sources give two readings for Mariana. Behind the Name presents it as the Roman feminine of Marianus, a cognomen derived from the family name Marius, later interpreted as a joining of Maria and Ana; Wiktionary explains the Portuguese form as Maria + Ana, and the Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil (Dictionary of Names in Use in Brazil), citing Machado (1981), speaks of a convergent form of Latin Mariana and the compound Maria Ana. The underlying names have an uncertain meaning: Behind the Name gives two possible origins for Marius (the god Mars or the Latin mas, maris, 'male') and says the meaning of Maria, from Hebrew Miryam, is not known for certain. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 451,762 people named Mariana, with a median age of 21. Marianna and Maryana are among the spelling variants listed by the dictionary.
