Maryjane

MEHR-ee-jayn
English, combination of Mary and Jane
"drop of the sea, bitter, beloved + god is gracious"

Maryjane Origin and Meaning

The name Maryjane is a girl's name meaning "drop of the sea, bitter, beloved + god is gracious".

Mary was such a common name for so long that it sprouted a whole family of chimeric name splices: Maryann, Marybeth, Mary-Lousie, ad infinitum. Spiderman's Mary Jane Watson, the closed toe shoe with a strap, and the common nickname for marijuana have helped keep this one especially familiar to the American ear.

Smooshing these two names into one gives it several possible meanings, including: "beloved God is gracious"; "drop of the sea of God's grace"; "God is beloved and gracious"; "God is forgiving towards bitterness"; or some other interpretation or blending of the two meanings.
