A figure of many faces, Marian is a gender-neutral name with a Hebrew origin. Marian defies strict definitions and is used in French, Latin, Greek, and English. As a combination of both Mary and Ann, Marian has a myriad of meanings, including "rebellious," "beloved," "star of the sea," and "grace."
