'Marie' originates from French, specifically the word 'Marie', ultimately from Latin 'Maria' and Greek 'Maria', which in turn comes from the Hebrew name 'Miryam'.

'Marie' changed from Old French 'Marie' (borrowed from Latin/Greek 'Maria'), which itself derived from the Hebrew 'Miryam'; the name passed through Greek and Latin into Medieval and then Modern French and English.

Initially associated with the Hebrew name 'Miryam' (with debated senses such as 'bitter' or 'beloved'), it evolved into a proper personal name without a single concrete lexical meaning in everyday use.
