Marian

The name Marian is of English origins and it is traditionally used by parents who are looking for a name for their daughter. It has been taken from the name Maria, the feminine variation of the Roman masculine name Marius. It is the Latin form of the name Miriam or Mary, mother of Jesus. According to its Latin origins, the meaning of Marian is ‘rose petal’. It also has traces in the Hebrew language where the name Mariam, which has been derived from Marian, means ‘drop of the sea’ from the root words ‘mar’ and ‘yam’ which mean ‘drop’ and ‘sea’, respectively. The name Marian, in some cultures, is also said to mean ‘star of the sea’, ‘grace’ or ‘beloved’. It is also the anglicized version of the name Marion. Marian Lois Shields Robinson, the mother of former First Lady of the United States Michelle Obama, is a notable public figure to have this name.

Lucky

Marian lucky number is 2.

Within numerology, the 2 vibration assumes the role of the mediator, creating harmony by bringing together dissonant forces through compassion, empathy, and kindness. 2 is linked to psychic abilities and intuition, and if this number appears as a Life Path or Destiny Number, the individual will be astute to subtle energy shifts and emotional nuances. Because 2 is so sensitive, it is very conflict-averse, and can end up feeling under-appreciated or unacknowledged. 2 must avoid seeking external validation and, instead, realize that perfect equilibrium needed already exists within.
