Origin and meaning

favor/grace (Hebrew) and beloved/star of the sea (Hebrew/Latin)

Anna Marie combines two biblical names of Hebrew origin (Hannah and Mary) via their European and English forms. The combination is widely embraced across the Christian world and has been a staple compound name in the Philippines since the American colonial era and through modern times.

A classic Christian compound given name combining Anna (from the Hebrew Channah, meaning grace or favor) and Marie (the French and English form of Mary/Miryam). In the Philippines, this compound reflects both deep-rooted Catholic devotional naming practices and the influence of English naming styles.
