Meaning & origin
Jomarie is a mid-20th-century American invention, formed by blending Jo and Marie. It first appeared in 1944 and saw its greatest use during the 1960s, peaking in 1968. Though it never cracked the top 1000 nationally, it has maintained a steady but low level of use into the 2020s, illustrating the enduring appeal of compound names in American naming culture.
Jomarie is a compound name formed from Jo, a short form of Josephine or Joanna, and Marie, the French form of Mary. It emerged in the United States in the mid-20th century, part of a trend of blended names. Though its peak popularity was in the 1960s, it has remained in occasional use since.
