Meaning & origin

Maryrose first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1910 and reached its peak popularity in 1926. With a rank of 7,885 in 2025, it is relatively rare, with about 1 in every 123,636 girls given the name that year. The name has remained stable in usage, neither experiencing a dramatic rise nor fall in recent decades. Although it did not appear among the top states for usage, it is a classic English composite name that combines two enduring favorites: Mary and Rose. Parents drawn to vintage double names or honorific combinations may find Maryrose a distinctive yet familiar choice.

Maryrose is a compound of Mary (from Latin Maria, from Greek Mariam, ultimately of Hebrew origin, debated as meaning 'bitter' or 'beloved') and Rose (from Latin rosa, a flower name used since the 19th century). It first appeared in the United States in 1910, as a double-barreled given name typical of English-speaking naming traditions that combine family or honor names.
