Thanks for that, Hat and Bread. I did a little research on the name Marianne, to see if there is some drowning sailor related story related to the name, but couldn't find anything. My curiosity is semi-satisfied for now though.

EDIT - I should've looked harder, and spelt the name Marian:

The original Miryam of the Hebrew scriptures was sister to Moses and Aaron. Some scholars believe her name, and those of her brothers, could have originated in the ancient Egyptian language, and that their meanings are lost. Others offer alternate interpretations, including ''rebellion'' and ''sea of bitterness''.
