Origin: French

Meaning: Of the sea

A girl’s name of French origin, Marinette has a maritime inspiration that makes it a charming ode to the ocean. Its roots trace back to the Roman family name Marinus, derived from either the name Marius or the Latin word marinus, meaning "of the sea." If you want a name with lovely fluidity that echoes the rhythmic ebb and flow of the tides, Marinette is a fitting choice for your little mermaid.
