Marianus
Marianus is a male first name.
Origin and Meaning
Marianus ( feminine form Mariana ) is Latin, derived from the Roman gentile name Marius in the meaning " to Marius belonging, Marier ", and was worn as a cognomen. In Christianity, where the name was taken as a baptismal name, he crossed with the derivation of the name Marian Maria and thereby took the secondary meaning " to Mary ( the mother of Jesus) belonging, Marian " to. The derivation of the name of Mary is also based on the honorary title of John Duns Scotus Doctor Marianus.
