Origin: Aramaic

Meaning: Lady; mistress of the house

Mariet is a feminine name with several known origins, from the Danish Mariel, the French Marietta, and the Aramaic name Martha. Meaning "lady" and "mistress of the house," your little one can interpret that as someone in total control of their domain. Mariel Hemingway, granddaughter of the Nobel Prize-winning novelist Ernest Hemingway, firmly put the name on the map in 1976 when she was just 15. Her Golden Globe-nominated performance in Lipstick preceded Academy and BAFTA Award nominations for her later role in Woody Allen's Manhattan in 1979. Mariel inspired people all over the world by following her dreams and staying true to herself; traits little Mariet can strive to emulate and surpass.
