Maren is the Scandinavian form of Marina — from the Latin marinus, meaning "of the sea." Used throughout Denmark, Norway, and Germany as the typical short Scandinavian form.
Maren entered the U.S. top 1000 in 2013 and has been rising. The country singer Maren Morris (born 1990) is a contemporary bearer.
Maren does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.

In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Maren reduce to 6, The Nurturer. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
