Marrian Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
This surname is derived from the name of an ancestor. 'the son of Mary,' from diminutive Mary-on; v. Marion.
This surname is derived from the name of an ancestor. 'the son of Mary,' from the diminutive Mari-on, 'little Mary'; compare Gibbon from Gib, Alison from Alice, Diccon from Dick. Marion or Marian is now a separate name from Mary, as is Eliza from Elizabeth. The doublet Mary Ann helps to perpetuate the modern idea that Marian is a compound of Mary and Ann. It is ludicrous to read that' Marian, more frequently written Marion, is not formed from Mary and Ann, as some French writers have supposed, but more probably from Mariamne, the wife of Herod, &c.': A Lytell Geste of Robin Hode. This is 'out of the frying-pan into the fire.' Maid Marian was as often styled 'Malkin, the May Lady,' Malkin being the English diminutive of Mary. Jamieson has unfortunately permitted the' Mariamne' view a place in his dictionary.
Marion Lambert, 1379: Poll Tax of Yorkshire.
Mariona fil. Henry, 1379: ibid.
Johannes Marion, 1379: ibid.
Johannes Marionson, 1379: ibid.
Robertus Marion, 1379: ibid.
1391. Gilbert Marion: Cal. of Wills in the Court of Husting.
1638. Married — Thomas Allamby and Averine Marrian: St. James, Clerkenwell.
1688. Baptised — Thomas, s. Thomas Maryan: St. Mary Aldermary (London).
(A. - French-Hebrew) dims. of Mary = Bitterness [Hebrew Máráh, with the French diminutive suffixes -at, -et, -ot, -in, -on]
De Gerville deduces it from the personal name Mary. See English Sum. ii. 83.
