Origin
Meaning and history of Sarahmarie
The name Sarahmarie is a relatively modern combination of two traditional names - Sarah and Marie. Sarah is a Hebrew name derived from the biblical matriarch Sarah, wife of Abraham. It means "princess" or "noblewoman" in Hebrew. The name Sarah has been in use since ancient times and appears frequently in the Old Testament of the Bible.
Marie is a French name derived from the ancient Hebrew name Miriam, meaning "beloved" or "wished-for child". The name Marie has been popular in France and other European countries for centuries, often given in honor of the Virgin Mary.
The combined name Sarahmarie first emerged in the 19th century, likely as a way to honor both maternal and paternal lineages or to combine traditional feminine names. One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Sarahmarie was Sarah Marie Hosmer, an American author and educator born in 1851.
Another notable Sarahmarie was Sarah Marie Althoff (1865-1934), a German-American author and educator who wrote extensively on the importance of early childhood education. In more recent times, Sarahmarie Jones (1920-2008) was an American singer and actress who performed on Broadway and in films.
Sarah Marie Young (1847-1919) was an American educator and suffragist who campaigned for women's right to vote. She founded the Utah Women's Suffrage Association and served as its president for several years.
Sarah Marie Williamson (1857-1944) was a British architect and one of the first women to be admitted to the Royal Institute of British Architects in 1898. She designed numerous buildings, including churches and schools, across the United Kingdom.
While the name Sarahmarie is not as common as its individual components, it has been used throughout history as a way to honor both maternal and paternal lineages or to combine traditional feminine names into a unique and meaningful moniker.

FAQ
Sarahmarie: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Sarahmarie?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 170 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Sarahmarie going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 2,016,202 US residents.
Is Sarahmarie a common name?
We classify Sarahmarie as "Very Rare". It ranks above 72% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 176 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Sarahmarie most popular?
The single biggest year for Sarahmarie was 2003, when 13 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Sarahmarie is about 30 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Sarahmarie in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Sarahmarie a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Sarahmarie in the SSA data are female. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Sarahmarie still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Sarahmarie in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Sarahmarie can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
