Maryjane

Maryjane combines two traditional names in a single written form. Mary has an ancient but uncertain deeper meaning, while Jane comes through the John family and means God is gracious. Their combination preserves two name histories rather than creating a new literal phrase from the suggested meanings of each part.

Mary Jane is familiar through Spider-Man character Mary Jane Watson and through the name of a strapped shoe style. The phrase also has a slang association with marijuana, which some families may want to consider. Maryjane keeps the pairing as one first name, while Mary Jane and Mary-Jane show the division more clearly in writing.
