Meaning and history

Jean-Marie is a French compound given name, traditionally masculine despite Jean also having feminine English use. Jean is the French form of John, from Hebrew meaning “Yahweh is gracious,” while Marie is the French form of Mary, whose original Hebrew etymology remains uncertain. French Catholic naming custom often combines a saint’s name with Marie. Notable bearers include Nobel Prize-winning French author Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio and French politician Jean-Marie Le Pen; the hyphen is standard in the compound.
