I really like this name, it sounds very sweet and innocent. I have a best friend named Mariana, and she is sweet and innocent as her name sounds.

Pronounced [muh-ree-UH-nuh] or [muh-RYUH-nuh] in Portuguese. In Portugal it's very common among young girls.

I love this name, I think it's so graceful. Both of my closest friends are named Mariana, and I love saying this name. It's also a baroque city in Brazil.
