Etymology
Marie-Jacques combines the French feminine name Marie (from Latin Mariam, meaning "of the sea" or associated with the Virgin Mary) with Jacques (the French form of James, from Hebrew Yaakov, meaning "supplanter"). This hyphenated combination emerged as a French naming convention, particularly among Catholic families, blending Marian devotion with patriarchal lineage.
The name is predominantly used in French-speaking Catholic cultures, especially in France, Quebec, and other Francophone regions, reflecting both religious tradition and the historical French practice of honoring saints; notable bearers include the 18th-century naturalist Marie-Jacques Mollet and various French aristocratic families.
Marie-Jacques currently ranks #2,149 in the United States as a girl's name. It reached its peak popularity around 1957.
