Alternate meanings for the name Marie?

We just found out that baby #2 is a girl and we're wanting to name her either Kaylee Marie or Kaylee Jo-Marie. Marie is a family name on both sides and not just a "filler" as some would say, but I hate the most common meaning, "bitter".





Do you know of any other origins and meanings for Marie??


Or know of a website where you can find multiple origins and meanings for the same name?





Thanks in advance!!

Reply:Looking up everything it looks like they are basing their meaning on it's latin root, regardless if it's an english, french, or hebrew names. babynames says it's a 'sea of bitterness' look at that, you thought you had a little bitterness and here you had a whole sea.





It's my middle name and I never knew it meant bitter, so I wouldn't worry too much about it. I've always thought it was a very pretty name, and feel bad for its reputation as filler. I may name any daughters I have Marie just to get it back on the map.





Congrats!





p.s. I loved the character kaylee on firefly the tv show :D
Reply:I know what you mean. I have the name Mary...and Catherine as a middle name. Sometimes when I'm feeling bitter about something, I blame it on my name. I was born in Poland and my birth certificate says Maria, but my mother had it Anglicized when we arrived in America when I was 5 yrs. old. I don't really like Mary or Maria, but do like what my Polish relatives would call me....either Marisha or Marila (spelling not sure). I especially like Marisha...how do you like Kaylee Marisha?

Reply:I only know of "bitter". This is the type of situation where I ignore the meaning, because I love Marie as a first name. I like Jo-Marie by the way, especially if you're not planning on having any more kids. If you are, then I would save Jo or Josephine for another little girl's middle name.
