Ancient root and name story

Origin: Marnie is an English feminine name with uncertain etymology, possibly a diminutive of Marina. Meaning: Marina is the feminine form of Marinus, which may derive from Marius or from Latin marinus, meaning of the sea, so any maritime sense is only a possible upstream link.

The name gained public attention through Alfred Hitchcock's 1964 film, based on Winston Graham's 1961 novel. These are points of public attention, not proof of a first bearer or a fixed ancient meaning.

For parents, Marnie has a vintage, friendly warmth and a soft sound. Its origin is best presented honestly as uncertain, with the possible Marina connection noted rather than overstated.
