In 18th-century France, Marianne became a popular name as a variant of Marian and Marie. It can also be seen as a combination of Marie and Anne. It gave inspiration to several double names such as Marie-Anne and Anne-Marie, as well as other variants such as Anna Maria, Ana-Maria and Marianna, and alternate spellings Mary Ann and Mary Anne. The combination of the two names has also been popular with Christians because Saint Anne is traditionally the name of the mother of the Virgin Mary.
